Control the weather in the Rain Room at the Curve, Barbican Centre, London

For many of us, it may be raining outside but if you visit the Barbican you could find that it is raining inside too. The Rain Room, developed by artists in London, uses special movement sensors to make sure visitors do not get wet despite "walking in the rain".

BBC London's arts correspondent Brenda Emmanus talks to artist Stuart Wood, who created the installation along with fellow former Royal College of Art students Hannes Koch and Florian Ortkrass. Visitors walk through an art installation called the Rain Room in The Curve gallery at the Barbican Centre in London. The Rain Room is a 100 square metre field of falling water which visitors are invited to walk into. Sensors detect where visitors are standing, and the rain stops around them, giving them an experience of how it might feel to control the rain.
