Rainworks / Peregrine Church

来自一年四季雨水多到不行的雨城西雅图艺术家Peregrine Church给gooood分享了他创作的系列绝妙雨天作品—-只在下雨天才能显示哦！作品传达的积极信息其目的是使人们在雨天微笑。这些创意作品的材料只是用到了硬纸板和疏水材料。艺术家在硬纸板上挖出作品形状，然后用几乎透明的疏水材料隔着硬纸板喷在路上。到了下雨天，喷上疏水材料的地面将不会被雨淋湿，因此作品魔法般的在雨天显现了。艺术家的网站上还配有实时的地图信息，对作品感兴趣的朋友可以随时查到哪里有作品，然后在雨天前去观看哟。更多请至：Peregrine Church on gooood 

Artist Peregrine Churchfrom the rainy city Seattle shared with gooood his fantastic rainworks, which are positive messages that appear when it rains. Their purpose is to make people smile on rainy days. The materials used are only cardboard and superhydrophobic coating. The artist cuts out shapes from the cardboard and sprays almost transparent superhydrophobic coating on the road. When it rains, the floor with superhydrophobic coating will remain dry, so the rainworks will magically appear. There is also real-time cartographic information on Peregrine Church’s website. You may find positions of his rainworks and go to watch on rainy days. 

 

我们创造雨天作品，给人们一个期盼下雨天的理由！
反正不管怎样都要下雨。为什么不利用下雨天做一些有趣的事呢？

We make rainworks to give people a reason to look forward to rainy days!
It’s going to rain anyway. Why not do something fun with it?

雨天作品对环境有害吗？
天啊，当然不会哟！地面一变干，雨天作品完全无毒性，对环境安全，并且可以进行生物降解。

Are rainworks bad for the environment?
Heavens no! Once dry, rainworks are completely non-toxic, environmentally safe, and biodegradable.

雨天作品会持续多久？
每件雨天作品持续时间从大约4个月到一年不等，取决于它所要承受的步行者交通量。摩擦更多意味着它消退会更快。在最初几个星期里，雨天作品最清晰，然后会慢慢变模糊。

How long do rainworks last?
Each rainwork lasts about 4 months to a year, depending on the amount of foot traffic it has to endure. More abrasion means it will fade faster. A rainwork is the most vivid during its first couple of weeks, then slowly becomes more subtle.

雨天作品会让人行道变滑吗？
不会，雨天作品和人行道表面使用了同样的材质。

Do rainworks make the sidewalk more slippery?
No, rainworks retain the same texture as the surface they are installed on.

雨天作品合法吗?
根据西雅图市交通局一位代表的说法，雨天作品实际上合法，因为它们是临时性作品，并不有损地产，也不做任何广告。

Are rainworks legal?
According to a representative at the Seattle Department of Transportation, Rainworks are actually legal, because they are temporary, don’t harm the property, and don’t advertise anything.

你使用哪种产品，我能从哪获得？
我使用Always Dry产品（Wood & Stone配方）。在美国没有卖，但http://nanexcompany.eu/网上可以买到。制作这种产品的Nanex公司，是一家比利时公司。我目前正在和他们商谈关于在美国发售Always Dry产品。（请注意我并非接受Nanex公司的报酬而使用或宣传他们的产品。）

What product do you use, and where can I get it?
I use Always Dry (the Wood & Stone formula). It is not sold in the US, but it is available at http://nanexcompany.eu/ The company that makes it, the Nanex Company, is based out of Belgium. I am currently in talks with them about getting distribution of Always Dry in the United States. (Please note I am not paid by Nanex to use or endorse their product.)

Always Dry产品公司付钱给你使用其公司产品吗？
不是。我测试了一些不同的超疏水涂层，然后挑选了效果最好的一种。

Does Always Dry pay you to use their product?
Nope. I tested a few different superhydrophobic coatings and just picked the one that worked best.
