It isn't a waste of water....this uses 2.5 litres of water which re-circulates back round the valve. Swimming pools use hundreds of thousands of litres of water.
You dont have to be a billionaire, you could build something like this but smaller for just a few hundred dollars, just will take a while to build all the valves and connect them up, u dont have to use 3d depth cameras like that, u could use simple weight sensors, or, i dunno i just know that there must be a much simpler way to do it on a smaller scale or even bigger scale and without so much electronics and no camera...if u HAD to use the cameras u could use very cheap webcams and it could still bne done for a few hundred bucks or u could just take a shower
if you walk fast, run or even wave your hands fast, you will get wet a little. because you move faster than falling rain drops when the moment censors detect it and closes the taps above
TheBestUA-camChannelEverTimesInfinity Basically if your quicker than gravity u can get wet. Cause even when the water turns off it takes time to reach the ground. So you hit it while its in air and get wet
+Fire blade They can find out how fast you're moving and calculate if the water will respond fast enough, but if not they can just block the valves instead of a centimeter around you they could block a foot.
Velocity and acceleration are probably calculated to help predict how much space the valves need to give and how fast to stop. Or create a cushion at least for the water still in air when the valve closes. If you moved too fast for the cameras to keep focus on you well, or moved and then pushed off to the side randomly, you'd probably get a little wet.
That's an amazing installation that evokes emotion and thought, the holy grail of artist accomplishments. One thought that comes to mind for me is... I love getting drenched and dancing in the rain, if I was to go in here on a trippy tip, I would feel like I was cursed and unable to feel the rain and or stripped of the privilege. Love it either way
everyone has it all wrong, if i become rich i will travel the world to experience first hand inventions and national wonders such as this. i will devote all my time to researching more stuff such as this to touch in person. absolutely awesome
I saw something like that when I was having hallucinations from extremly strong iv opiates and near death, literally looked like people were stepping through a waterfall.The person would become extremly clear when they stepped through and closer to my bed and when they stepped back through the water they would go from completely clear to all blurry. Was one of the most realistic hallucinations I have ever had!
How does it predict where you are, such that if you move your hand out quickly it doesn't get wet from water that was let out before the valve could shut off?
Yo Mama yeah, but they're referring to you moving your arm into an area which water's already falling. You'd get wet unless it's programmed to give you quite a bit of space.
I want one !!!!! Actually this would be great for movies Industry where you film the actors in the rain but don't actually want them getting wet in the scene
MIND you can't see if the person is wet through the water, and they could film a separate seen where they drench the person if they walk inside or in stops raining.
+Stitch They can find out how fast you're moving and calculate if the water will respond fast enough, but if not they can just block the valves instead of a centimeter around you they could block a foot.
it's probably linked to a water recycling system. notice the grids on the floor for the water to fall through. that is probably a reservoir for the water to collect, and is then pumped back up to the ceiling sprinkler grid
This is as awesome! I had an idea for a similar concept for a theatre show a while ago! Great to see this bring the concept to life! Would love to work with this! :)
I love the rain so much and this is my dream come true - something that could make it rain inside the house, without the neighbors scrunching up their noses at the sight of me splashing around in the rain like a three year old.
That's really cool actually. I may hate the money and prejudice in the "high" art communities, but I can always appreciate different expressions of art work.
The reason why 'readymade' is used is because its part of "conceptual" art. Not about the piece in a sense that it is elevating materials -- not typically used in traditional art making practices -- to a fine art context. It's about the concept, not the actual piece itself. Note: I'm not talking depreciatively about this piece, I happen to think its pretty badass.
Ever turn the Closed Captions on? I just did it because my roomie is watching a movie in the same room. THEY ARE GIBBERISH! My sincere sympathies to anyone who must rely on this utterly useless "service" to try to understand videos.
If there is no background noise, and you speak clearly with good diction, UA-cams auto CC does a passable job. If not, it is awful. Better videos, intended for commercial use often spend time and money on closed captioning. It takes me about an hour to do 10 minutes passably well.
AUTO-captions are gibberish. But some videos actually have real captioning that people uploaded. But, I have run into good auto-captioning. Good enough to understand most of what is being said.
carmium are you dull? It's a wonderful service on most videos with English speakers because it has a very high accuracy, and it's better than nothing if you are deaf. "Useless". People put thousands of hours on the auto caption service, and you call it useless. The echos and the accents confuse the system, but instead of complaining, fix it.
that doesn't make any sense? You were amazed by a tech which allows it to rain but not on you until you heard about the tech? What did you expect it is? Magic or what? lol

Art or artists has become such a vague subjective term, and wrongly so. I do not see these guys as artists, but I do see them as designers/engineers. I don't know what is wrong with being an engineer. Through history some engineers have been visionaries. If these engineers cannot find a practical use for their work, no doubt someone else might. It doesn't take anything away from the interesting installation they have built. The only offence they or others might take, is my avoidance in labeling them artists. If anyone thinks they are artists, then could they define art first?
"were looking at printing with water using inks that respond to water" please spend time actually paying attention to the artists vision before you make a statement like that
I saw that and it does not alter my view. How is the efforts of printing with water not an engineering exercise? And the display, not a design exercise? In order to say it's an artist's work, can you define why it is art beyond the design/engineer work that I have seen. What for you makes it art? Both Design and Engineering produce aesthetically pleasing results, as this does.
Avidcomp Is the person who first decided to paint using a brush and pigment based paint an engineer or an artist Is the person who first picked up a chivel and started sculpting an artist or an engineer Is the first person to control water with artistic intention an artist or an engineer Also what makes it art for me is the fact they have taken a force of nature an element of weather and basically recreated it in a confined space controlled though technological means, i see it as a show of how far we are progressing technologically and how we can even in this day keep innovating and changing our environment, it also represents that we are effecting our ecosystem with our technologies oh and to define art? Art is any creative medium where the viewer defines its purpose rather than the creator... when an artist makes something not with a vision but instead "this is this and only this if you don't see this your wrong" view... well it loses all artistic integrity... for instance define what davinci was trying to convey through the mona lisa... and tell me what shes smiling about infact take any great artwork and tell me what the artist behind it was trying to say.
DragonFiendStudios In answer to you initial examples, they are engineers. They have taken an aspect of nature and re-modeled it to be used for a purpose of their choosing. As Francis Bacon said "nature to be commanded must be obeyed" Your definition of art is my definition more or less of engineering. I want to stress that I hold engineering in very high regard, so it's not at all a slight that I refer to anyone as an engineer. You perhaps do not realize it when you say that "any creative medium where the viewer defines its purpose rather than the creator" But this is the philosophy that has led from Immanuel Kant, a mixed up mystic that has embedded itself through our education and social psyche today, to be excepted as a given without challenge, and has it's roots in the moral code of Altruism, coined by Auguste Comte, where the moral good is anything that serves others but not one's self. In essence and indeed through your own definition, subjugates the "artist" to a servant of the masses. Well, I reject that and I would do so if I were the only one to oppose the views of all around me. Although I know that I'm not the only one with such a conviction. But in answer to what is art? Firstly art is a creation of an artist. If a piece is to be art, it must have a creator; the artist. If an artists work was disliked by all, it doesn't alter that fact, they are merely observers and if the creator chooses to evade his own mind, choosing instead to be led by what society wants, he is a servant. For an artist to create anything from his own mind, he must be aware of his own mind and his work must be a representation of that. How it is received is irrelevant. And what of his own mind? What will form his ideas and how will he choose to represent them? This is the artists own philosophy. How he sees himself and his relationship with the world in which he lives; his values, his emotional evaluations and his dreams. His work; his art; his creation is therefore a selective re-creation of his metaphysical engagement rooted in his values; An integration of reality as he perceives it through his faculty of concept formations. His purpose is to represent himself, selectively with reality for how it is and/or what it ought be. His work concretes his existence. The observer can make of it what they choose, but in order for the work to be art, the creator must acknowledge his individual identity as the creator and his work is the result of his concepts. After all, man is a conceptual being, and his concepts are a faculty of his unique mind. If one damns his mind, he is merely a tool for other men to use at their whim, and he'd do better not existing. Any man that has no issue with another man being a tool is advocating his enslavement. Altruism has led you to believe that the creator is as good as a zero.; that art is art by means of whim. It is not. We live in a world where people communicate without clarity, where compromise is the standard because it's perceived as the closest way of not offending the masses and yet it ends up offending everyone. It is the herd mentality. Art must be above all of that and show by representation of the creator an essence to face up to, or to inspire ideally. It is not a bromide of the mob. To build something and say I don't know what it is, is to say; I don't know who I am.
Well if you want to get philosophical Then to create something and clearly define what it is, is also to clearly define yourself implying that you are one sided or not very complex in personality How often is it that someone can outright say "this is what i am" and assign a definition to their being
+WujekBlady No. . . It's not weather manipulation at all. But it could be practical watering farm crops while allowing farmers to work over the plants while water is still raining down and not get wet.
not for those living in 4 seasons land, while we, living in tropical climate is something they can get envious of, rain is one of the thing. something we usually get at least few times in a month, but for them it is rare.
That's completely illogical. In order for that logic to work, you would have to take something that makes people go outdoors and then move it inside, thus removing the need to go outside. Except most normal people avoid rain, as in avoid going outside....when it's raining....so moving a rain experience inside wouldn't hinder anyone's desire to leave the house. Not to mention, showers already exist....so if someone want to stand in falling water, they already can....
Sorry to be a party pooper ......but this is like a 1st year engineer level creation My friends and i have made cooler stuff....just without burning this much cash We are electrical engineers btw
Man, your channel is full of all the cool stuff you made. Look at all the top notch videos of incredibly complex and difficult things you uh..."engineered".... How pretentious.
It's good but the water jets are placed in a symmetrical pattern which is obvious from some angles. It would look far more like natural rain fall if the water jets were in a random pattern but maybe this was not achievable?
I experienced it, got soaked. The usher suggested it may be due to the coat I was wearing - so I proceeded to venture through without the coat and got again soaked just this time without a coat on.......well worth the hour plus wait.
I really like it:) it's amazing!!! but queue for 3 hours outside of the rain room. It was a really good experience to walk around raining without get wet. And you feel don't want to get out of the rain room, cuz the light makes rain looks so beautiful like small crystal coming down:) by the way, after I tried to run, but I got wet a bit... lol
There should be an opposite of this room. It only rains where you walk.
there is.. its called the UK :(
MrTongeh Brilliant XD
Thats all too true!
+MrTongeh Haha too good, too true!
that room would be called the reality of a public enemy :'DD
The Truman Show
perfect for movie magic.
watch "to the bone" its on netflix. There's a part in the movie featuring the not so famous rain room. You're welcome.
Well... It wouldn't be very realistic to be in the middle of a rain and not be wet
Ignacio Romero they splash you w water first
MondoManDevout Then what's the point of not getting wet with rain if they will wet you anyway
Why not just make shots in real rain?
It isn't a waste of water....this uses 2.5 litres of water which re-circulates back round the valve. Swimming pools use hundreds of thousands of litres of water.
Unknown Mystery I doubt this could run off of so small an amount, but if you have sources, I will respect that.
I meant 2.5k litres! But that's still a negligiible amount compared to swimming pools. (my source is the video's description)
Unknown Mystery ur mom is a negligible amount lololol
vanamburgben That....doesnt make sense but okay
Yeah, strange statement... Not sure you know what you're talking about :P
Reversing the logic of that machine would be quite comical i imagine.
would be nice for the blood bath scene in Blade.
you get wet but it's not raining? :)
i lol'd
No it would rain but only where you are.
Truman Show
They created a very complicated umbrella ;-)
Nicolas Salliou yep
No. They just turn off the rain where you are.
Timo John That's kind of exactly what OP was referring to.

lol
When i become a billionaire i'm going to hire them to build this as a room for my mansion as a meditation room, it shall be called, the rain room.
+Samantha Abakir Real original.
You don't need to be a billionaire to have a rain room
If*
or the "Hydrolax chamber" hydro as(water) (lax as in relax). I don't know, whatever works i guess.
You dont have to be a billionaire, you could build something like this but smaller for just a few hundred dollars, just will take a while to build all the valves and connect them up, u dont have to use 3d depth cameras like that, u could use simple weight sensors, or, i dunno i just know that there must be a much simpler way to do it on a smaller scale or even bigger scale and without so much electronics and no camera...if u HAD to use the cameras u could use very cheap webcams and it could still bne done for a few hundred bucks
or u could just take a shower

So good commen

if you walk fast, run or even wave your hands fast, you will get wet a little. because you move faster than falling rain drops when the moment censors detect it and closes the taps above
I think the 'barrier' protects you as far as you can reach your hands, just to be safe
What if you ran?
you can get yourself wet here if you try, its not THAT fast, but i bet youd have to run pretty fast to trick it
TheBestUA-camChannelEverTimesInfinity
Basically if your quicker than gravity u can get wet. Cause even when the water turns off it takes time to reach the ground. So you hit it while its in air and get wet

This would be really cool in a sensory room, especially for autistic folks. It seems so soothing

That would not be the best idea for a shower.
actually a good prank this time: 10 of these showers on LA beach
inyazserg Sergey Larin it would. Just reverse the effect. Everywhere you go it rains
= not washing out the dirt and the shampoo ? Yeah, really.
Every gamer who lives in their mums basement's dream
Shower for the in-law apartment.
It's like you are trapped in a room with high speed internet connection but your phone is dead.
You can see the rain, but can't touch them 😂
Amaan AbdulAzeez or like when everyone around you is getting wifi but somehow you're not getting any
*water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink*
nerd joke...
Amaan AbdulAzeez thats sad
Amaan AbdulAzeez right in the feels
Seeing the rain is one thing, but feeling the drops landing on your skin, smelling the rain and getting wet is the real thing...
I mean yeah, but you can do that any time it rains.
Yes! It's so sensual!
I feel like it would be amazing to sit in the middle of this and read a book
Yeah, still waste some water
@@dragulia_venaro not if you recirculate the water :)
Who else gets that feeling from The Truman Show?
Its a great film
Yea I always feel like I'm the "Truman" or what you can say. And my GAD only makes it x10 worse.
What feeling? What's this got to do with the Truman Show
Ben Parsons it's just that he feels like he is getting watched by the world 24/7
Ben Parsons It's raining, but it isn't really raining. Its fake. Maybe that's what he meant.
Perfect place to propose to a lucky girl.
Thanks for the idea
Hi I'm Elizabeth do you care for a chat
@@elizabethwhite1281 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
anybody remember this place on the movie "To the Bones" ?
Johnny boii yes
Favorite scene
Johnny boii I now understand why no one was getting wet...I was so confused while watching the film 😅
shree s yeah I thought I was outsmarting the film and I was like, "this movie is so stupid they're not even getting wet"
Johnny boii great movie
That's an amazing installation that evokes emotion and thought, the holy grail of artist accomplishments. One thought that comes to mind for me is... I love getting drenched and dancing in the rain, if I was to go in here on a trippy tip, I would feel like I was cursed and unable to feel the rain and or stripped of the privilege. Love it either way
This is ABSURDLY cool!!

Because that's just as stupid as him

Φίλιππος Κ well what if it's magnetic water and they program the thing so it can move away from you even after it started falling?
I love rain. I want this.
I want one !!!!!
Actually this would be great for movies Industry where you film the actors in the rain but don't actually want them getting wet in the scene
Thennnnn whats the point of a rain scene lmao you understand how fake thatd look right?
Rob Wright then wtf is the point lol
Actors that wear a lot of make up and don't want to ruin it
Chris Ivy They should of mentioned Chinese Movies where they somehow through Martial Art Magic, not get wet/bounce water off CG effects. Or Matrix.
MIND you can't see if the person is wet through the water, and they could film a separate seen where they drench the person if they walk inside or in stops raining.
When the reporter said Surreal, that summed it up. An amazing feat of engineering. A really great installation.
awesome if they implement this in a theme park, like in between the line of a ride.
All those songs about rain on you. Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink. A Place Where Rain Can't Reach You.
This was invented by Dan Arlie in 2005. They should give him credit for his idea.
does it still work if you run through it?
+Stitch They can find out how fast you're moving and calculate if the water will respond fast enough, but if not they can just block the valves instead of a centimeter around you they could block a foot.
Pillarship Empire You can run and get wet in this. It can't calculate a sprint through it. You will get wet
I know, this one probably can't do it, but if it was programmed to do it, then it could happen.
I love when he told his friend "no, that's a cop out... we're definitely artists". Artist shouldn't be a dirty word.
WOW! THIS IS NOT ................ "completely pointless" Stuart!!! I want to work with you guys!!! THIS IS GENIUS AMAZING!!!!
Imagine being on acid and going through this you would be so confused
I LOVE the sound of the rain in the room
Keep it up, I look forward to purchasing this for my home.
It's magical!!!
I just saw "To the bone" last night!! And one of my favorite scene is when they go to this place :) it's amazing!!
I totally loved this in Barbican. Love love love. I wish to do it again with kit in hand!
People who listen to rain noises while sleeping: *LOOK WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO TO MIMIC A FRACTION OF OUR POWER*
This is quite beautiful.
Wow!
Love this!.. It takes the extra mind to even conceive a project like this.
"You guys made it rain inside."
"Yeah, our roof caved in."
very cool effect when it is used on live stage performance😄😄👍👍
I'd love to just live somewhere with this as a room. so relaxing.
An awesome ad played before this video...which somehow made me hit the like button...
is this still open?
it's probably linked to a water recycling system. notice the grids on the floor for the water to fall through. that is probably a reservoir for the water to collect, and is then pumped back up to the ceiling sprinkler grid

I want this in my house
Where can i buy one of these,
Great place to hot box.
RIGHTTT
ray joe this might be weird but what do you mean by hot box?
Tun. smoking weed and clouding up the room with smoke dude
Hector Lujan oh gotcha. Never heard anyone say that 😅
hotboxing is smoking in a confined space so that you continuously rebreath in old smoke and get higher.
It doesn't sound very nice but it works.

add some strobes to make the water appear to levitate in mid air to go in reverse. that would complete this imo.

DragonFiendStudios In answer to you initial examples, they are engineers. They have taken an aspect of nature and re-modeled it to be used for a purpose of their choosing.
As Francis Bacon said "nature to be commanded must be obeyed"
Your definition of art is my definition more or less of engineering. I want to stress that I hold engineering in very high regard, so it's not at all a slight that I refer to anyone as an engineer.
You perhaps do not realize it when you say that "any creative medium where the viewer defines its purpose rather than the creator"
But this is the philosophy that has led from Immanuel Kant, a mixed up mystic that has embedded itself through our education and social psyche today, to be excepted as a given without challenge, and has it's roots in the moral code of Altruism, coined by Auguste Comte, where the moral good is anything that serves others but not one's self. In essence and indeed through your own definition, subjugates the "artist" to a servant of the masses.
Well, I reject that and I would do so if I were the only one to oppose the views of all around me. Although I know that I'm not the only one with such a conviction.
But in answer to what is art?
Firstly art is a creation of an artist. If a piece is to be art, it must have a creator; the artist.
If an artists work was disliked by all, it doesn't alter that fact, they are merely observers and if the creator chooses to evade his own mind, choosing instead to be led by what society wants, he is a servant.
For an artist to create anything from his own mind, he must be aware of his own mind and his work must be a representation of that. How it is received is irrelevant.
And what of his own mind? What will form his ideas and how will he choose to represent them? This is the artists own philosophy. How he sees himself and his relationship with the world in which he lives; his values, his emotional evaluations and his dreams.
His work; his art; his creation is therefore a selective re-creation of his metaphysical engagement rooted in his values; An integration of reality as he perceives it through his faculty of concept formations.
His purpose is to represent himself, selectively with reality for how it is and/or what it ought be. His work concretes his existence.
The observer can make of it what they choose, but in order for the work to be art, the creator must acknowledge his individual identity as the creator and his work is the result of his concepts. After all, man is a conceptual being, and his concepts are a faculty of his unique mind.
If one damns his mind, he is merely a tool for other men to use at their whim, and he'd do better not existing. Any man that has no issue with another man being a tool is advocating his enslavement.
Altruism has led you to believe that the creator is as good as a zero.; that art is art by means of whim. It is not.
We live in a world where people communicate without clarity, where compromise is the standard because it's perceived as the closest way of not offending the masses and yet it ends up offending everyone. It is the herd mentality.
Art must be above all of that and show by representation of the creator an essence to face up to, or to inspire ideally.
It is not a bromide of the mob.
To build something and say I don't know what it is, is to say; I don't know who I am.
Well if you want to get philosophical
Then to create something and clearly define what it is, is also to clearly define yourself implying that you are one sided or not very complex in personality
How often is it that someone can outright say "this is what i am" and assign a definition to their being
I wonder did they make the "rain" sign at the museum of old and new art in Tasmania? I would love to experience this though. Great stuff!
So, can we manipulate the weather with it? Let's make rain over the fields and forests, but not ppls
+WujekBlady No. . . It's not weather manipulation at all.
But it could be practical watering farm crops while allowing farmers
to work over the plants while water is still raining down and not get wet.
Salted yea but how will the crop get sunlight if there's a fucking big ass sprinkler on top
No one has heard of hydroponics?!
WujekBlady dumbass
We already do this sort of thing, actually! It's called sprinklers.
Wow. So many great people in the world. If only i have the chance to meet them and their works. mazing!
Because ppl need more reasons to stay indoors? There's real rain outside you know
not for those living in 4 seasons land, while we, living in tropical climate is something they can get envious of, rain is one of the thing. something we usually get at least few times in a month, but for them it is rare.
Mohamad Moussa boy it rains about two weeks of the year where I live. If I go outside I'd probably get boiled alive
That's completely illogical. In order for that logic to work, you would have to take something that makes people go outdoors and then move it inside, thus removing the need to go outside. Except most normal people avoid rain, as in avoid going outside....when it's raining....so moving a rain experience inside wouldn't hinder anyone's desire to leave the house. Not to mention, showers already exist....so if someone want to stand in falling water, they already can....
people like you ruin the fun in everything
the rain room is a work of art. and a very romantic place to go to
Exactly the kind of rain I need!
Sorry to be a party pooper ......but this is like a 1st year engineer level creation
My friends and i have made cooler stuff....just without burning this much cash
We are electrical engineers btw
This isn't that hard to make
Abu Aziz Exactly my point
Man, your channel is full of all the cool stuff you made. Look at all the top notch videos of incredibly complex and difficult things you uh..."engineered"....
How pretentious.
+misterchef511 touche 😅
i admit they've made a good video, but my point still stands that the "invention" is mediocre at best
+Yash Agarwal sure, let's just tear down other people's work and make ourselves look better.
They installed this in the UAE, i went and checked it out, its soooo cool!
I wonder if we could attach these cameras to the clouds!
Such a brilliant installation. Congratulations.
This is a fascinating channel. I'm in.
so so cool!
It's good but the water jets are placed in a symmetrical pattern which is obvious from some angles. It would look far more like natural rain fall if the water jets were in a random pattern but maybe this was not achievable?
Can a crowd the rough area of the rainfall shut it off if they all hugges to shut of the valves?
I experienced it, got soaked. The usher suggested it may be due to the coat I was wearing - so I proceeded to venture through without the coat and got again soaked just this time without a coat on.......well worth the hour plus wait.
Amazing!
this was in the movie to the bone!!!
This is cool .but could it work for fire dispersal system that would protect certain items
I really like it:) it's amazing!!! but queue for 3 hours outside of the rain room. It was a really good experience to walk around raining without get wet. And you feel don't want to get out of the rain room, cuz the light makes rain looks so beautiful like small crystal coming down:) by the way, after I tried to run, but I got wet a bit... lol
