The genius artists behind Troika — Conny Freyer, Eva Rucki and Sebastien Noel — have created this totally awesome art installation for the British Airways Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport.

Made of many “flip-dots” in a cloud-like shape, the installation, aptly named Cloud, constantly changes from one animation to another.

As the flip-dots flick we are instantly reminded of rippling water, of the mesmerizing movements of snakes and schools of fishes. We chose for that particular reason to create one side of the dots as silver mirror, to accentuate this feeling.

The pictures are very nice, but you really don’t get the full experience of Cloud without seeing it in person or watching it do its thing on video.

I’d love to see more airports incorporate these types of art installations. Nothing beats standing in one place for a long time and just staring at something flow.
