Paul DeMarinis: RainDance

A sound experience in summer

26 July – 26 September 2010

Opening: Sunday, 25 July 2010, 11:30 p.m., Julius-Mosen-Platz

A fourteen-meter long runway on the Julius-Mosen-Platz in the inner city of Oldenburg. People with umbrellas walking around, trying to cover from the drizzle that sprays out of six high mounted nozzless. The charmed people pause under their brollies. From the distance they form a kind of absurd but at the same poetic image. Being curious you come closer, take an umbrella and walk through the rain, to be as fascinated as the others.

Rain Dance is an interactive sound installation by the American artist Paul DeMarinis. Drizzle from six nozzles transports sound vibrations. While standing outside of the dizzle the different melodies are inaudible. Only by breaking the water jet with an umbrella the sound is decoded.

Every umbrella becomes a loud speaker, a private audio space for the person underneath it. But all individual, sound inspired “RainDances” can join to a common choreography.

The summer rain of RainDance changes the Julius-Mosen-Platz into an oasis of sound and makes it the most beautiful summer resort in Oldenburg.
