My name is Peregrine Church.

我是 Peregrine Church

I make things that make the world a more interesting place.

我創造會讓世界更有趣的事物

Like a rainwork.

就像「雨天創作」

Rainworks are pieces of street art that only appear when they're wet

雨天創作是只有在變濕時才會出現的街頭藝術

and they're messages or images designed to make people's rainy day a little bit better.

它們是訊息或影像，設計的用意是讓下雨天變得更美好

Seattle is associated with rain it's fair to say

說真的，西雅圖總是在下雨

and rainworks all it needs to be is wet so

而雨天創作需要的就是變濕

it's sort of the ideal Seattle art.

所以這是最適合西雅圖的藝術

So the stuff that makes rainworks is biodegradable, environmentally-friendly

雨天創作的塗劑可以被生物分解、對環境友善

and completely non-toxic.

而且完全無毒

The essential ingredient when making rainworks

製作雨天創作最重要的原料

is a super hydrophobic coating.

是強力疏水塗層

Ok, let's see how it works on the "NeverWetted" pants and shirt.

讓我們透過「絕對乾燥」的褲子和上衣來看看它是怎麼運作的

So you want me to start on the shirt, alright?

你想要我從上衣開始倒嗎？

That is a chemical that when you put it on a surface will prevent that surface from getting wet.

這是一種化學物質，只要將它塗在表面就能防止濕掉

What! Woah! What!

怎麼可能？哇賽！天啊！

I was just browsing the internet one day and stumbled across

有一天我上網亂逛，偶然發現

a viral video, and the video showed

一個病毒影片，影片展示了

these really vivid images of red wine pouring off a white shirt

這些非常生動的影像，像是用紅酒潑白上衣

and chocolate syrup pouring off white shoes

用巧克力糖漿倒在白鞋上

and people getting buckets of water thrown on them

還有人們狠狠地被超大桶水潑全身

and they're like totally fine and I'm like "woah, that's super cool!"

結果他們完好如初，我覺得超酷！

What can I do with this?

我能用這個做些什麼？

It's a spray-on substance so it made sense.

這是噴霧，所以點子是可行的

What if you sprayed it through a stencil?

如果你用模板來噴呢？

So if you put it on concrete well ideally it'd be invisible

如果你將它放在理想的水泥地位置上，它就像隱形的

instead of the concrete getting dark the water would just roll right off it

濕掉時不會像別的水泥地一樣顏色變深，水珠反而會馬上滾走

And it will stay light-colored.

它會維持在亮色

The contrast can be used to create an image

深淺的對比可以被用來創造圖像

The very first one I did said "Stay Dry Out There"

我創作的第一個作品是「讓潮濕遠離你」

and had a bunch a rain drops falling on it.

有大量的雨水落在它上面

It was on a bus stop.

那是在一個公車站旁

And now there's about 25 to 30 rainworks out there

而現在大概有 25 到 30 個雨天創作

There's a lily pad and pond

這是在巴拉德的睡蓮和池塘

with frogs hopping between them in Ballard.

上面有青蛙在蓮葉間跳躍

There's "I Heart Rain" in UW.

這是在華盛頓大學的「我愛雨天」

At 4th and Bell it says "Worry is a Misuse of the Imagination".

在貝爾頓的「憂慮，是把想像力用錯了地方」

There's "Today's Weather: Rain" in Fremont.

這是在弗瑞蒙的「今日天氣：雨」

There's "Proud To Be Rainy" in Capitol Hill

這是在首都丘的「我以下雨為榮」

There's hopscotch at the junction in West Seattle

這是在西雅圖西部的跳房子

And we want to make way more.

我們還想再創造更多作品

I mean it's gonna rain no matter what so why not do something cool with it!

我的意思是，無論如何都會下雨，不如把它變得更酷！
