Textile-based installation artist and educator Elisabeth Buecher has invented a clever way to conserve water. Titled “My Shower is a Green Warrior,” Buecher’s shower curtain turns spiky after four minutes of bathing, “taking over the space and discouraging long water-wasting showers.”
“These curtains are not really for marketing but aim at provoking a debate around water issues,” Buecher told Mochi. “If you don’t want to get trapped you have to get out before it does and stop damaging the environment.”
The curtains fill with air, and the project is only a concept. They were displayed at the 2009 Milan Furniture Fair.

You can shower normally for 4 minutes
But don’t idle…
Because after four minutes the spikes suddenly inflate!
You’re forced out of the shower
Water is saved and mother nature is happy!

Well.. You can shower for 4 minutes if you have hair like that (Silky and extremely short) Women with long curly hair would need at least 20 minutes to take a shower (says a woman with long curly hair)

Did no one actually READ the article? They aren't for marketing. They're an art project designed to initiate a discussion on water usage.

Seems a smart idea but not usable! Who wants something as freak as this in his/her bathroom?

And all these commenters missed the point. As stated it's not actually for use but more aimed at sparking a discussion and debate around WATER CONSERVATION

I might have to design a shower/bath system like a spa to have my toasty warm showers. Yes, with long hair have to wash my hair every 3 to 4 days when its not in braids. Cool Idea though!
