Spanish art collective Luzinterruptus are bringing their Rain Interactive installationto London this week. The designers are known for their unusual and surreal lighting/art activism including latext gloves turned into floating lamps, LED-infused syringes, and a plastic bag Christmas tree.For this London-based iteration of Rain Interactive, people can come along and make their very own piece of what the artists call "prophylactic rain"—which basically translates to creating a glowing "raindrop" out of a condom ("extra large and extra strength"), some blue colored water, and a small light. The finished pieces will be hung to form a canopy outside the entrance to the Waterman's Art Cenre in Brentford.

The event will take place over three days, creating a marquee of over 5,000 raindrops which people can walk under, touch, and experience a surreal version of rain without ever getting wet. Luzinterruptus says the drops are "very pleasant to touch and squeeze" while forming a "sensory and relaxing refuge."Luzinterruptus have toured the piece internationally, with kids and adults getting involved in making (and sometimes breaking) the raindrops. You can check out the images below, and video above, of the installation when they did it at the Campo de la Cebada square in Madrid.
