I brushed against Tine Bech’s suspended black Rain Balloons, made them skitter across the floor and unleash the sound of pattering rain from the ingenious electronics inside, the whole room’s vision of wet, subterranean darkness was brilliantly complete.

Bechs use of interactive technology and qualities inherent in natural phenomena such as rain, bird song and buoyancy are reminders of physicality – we want to touch her objects, we need to walk around them, to experience them, to meet them and they interact with us, responding to our proximity.
