Installation of artificial lighting and rain reflect the outputs of the real world sensor from Pachube

  My installation of purple colour lights and rain both reflects real world sensor from Pachube.
Purple colour light shows brightness in form when the day goes dark, it provide artificial lighting to the area in Pure War, according to the real world sensor feed, the day gets dark 6pm in summer time and gets bright at 6a.m., therefore the most efficient and necessary lighting is from sunset time till next morning when sun rises again. My flowgraph for the lighting is set to trigger when the day time goes to 6pm, and the trigger disables the light output by 6a.m. the next day.
Rain is something from the nature, it is a good contrast with artificial lighting or a sculpture, rain is something as a gift from nature, by making a rain, one has the sense of being God, which is the master of all creations on earth. Rain reflects the real world sensor information from Pachube, that the soil moisture comes to the lowest point and the temperature is the highest in the mid afternoon time between 2:30-4pm, therefore my design of rain fits the purpose of providing water to balance the moisture and cooling down temperature in the garden in afternoon times. In the rain flowgraph, the trigger enables the rain to start at 1pm and the disables the rain by 4pm.
