Giant Balloon Makey - The fine art of folding air
Maker Faire Bay Area 2017
MAKERS
Larry Moss
Larry Moss is full of hot air and visionary ideas. He combines the two with balloons and twists them into community-building art experiences. With a background in entertainment, applied math, and elementary education Larry breathes life into STEAM.
Kelly Cheatle
Kelly Cheatle specializes in elegantly loud design and is a materials and process fiend. Her artwork varies in scale by several orders of magnitude, from multi-story massive installations to sculptures small enough to sit comfortably on a penny.
Non-traditional building materials can be very effective. The Airigami team will construct a massive installation piece out of nothing but thousands of latex balloons.
What inspired you to make this project?:
We love making art accessible to others, largely by leveling the playing field between those that have received formal training in art and those that have not. Working with a medium that's usually thought of as a toy helps us to accomplish that goal.
