AN ARTIST’S INTERPRETATION OF TIME
A Million Times at Changi is both a kinetic sculpture and functioning clock. Its hands move from unpredictable and mechanical spinning to a series of perfectly synchronised designs and patterns. Developed by Stockholm-based artist collective, Humans Since 1982, the artwork is a visual representation of the concept of time.
Together with its 1,008 stepper motors, the artwork is an interplay between the fundamental character of an analogue clock and the beauty of synchronised movement. It reinvents the presentation of time—a core element of Changi Airport’s functionality—to offer delightful moments. 7.5m wide and 3.4m tall, A Million Times at Changi is one of the biggest kinetic artworks in the world.

AN ARTIST’S TRIBUTE TO FAMILIES
Chinese artist Han Meilin’s colossal 9000kg sculpture, Coming Home, has a Confucian theme that is also universal—the importance of family.
The sculpture renders members of the family nucleus in three types of metal: steel for the father, bronze for the mother, and gold for the child. The child is perched on the patriarch’s shoulder, while the family is surrounded by a flock of colourful birds, expressing the idea of returning and being homeward-bound.
Han is the chief designer of fuwa, the good-luck doll mascots of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.

DYNAMIC ART INSPIRED BY TROPICAL SINGAPORE
Made up of 1,216 bronze droplets, the Kinetic Rain sculpture in Terminal 1 is one of the favourites among Changi Airport’s collection of art installations and displays. Measuring 9.8m by 4m, each sculpture can form 16 different shapes ranging from the abstract to the familiar, such as an aeroplane, a hot air balloon, and even a dragon. Each shape elucidates the movement of flight through deliberate, fluid movements.
Created over a period of 20 months, Kinetic Rain comprises 180g of copper-plated aluminium droplets, of which choreography is controlled by a set of high precision motors. The project is the brainchild of artists, programmers and technologists who analysed space, passenger flow, and the bustle of activity at the airport to create an artwork that enhances the identity of Terminal 1.
With more than a thousand ‘raindrops’ working together in harmony, Kinetic Rain also symbolises the members of the airport community collaborating to provide a Positively Surprising Changi experience for passengers and visitors.
