Urballoon 2003

 

The Urballoon is a helium balloon with a video projector that displays a feed of social media tagged with a hashtag onto the ground of a street, plaza or park. This temporary installation creates an instant media interface to a place that allows communication between people, environments and events.

Urballoon is a platform for interactions in urban spaces. It connects the social web to our streets and enables new models of public dialogue and exchange of ideas.
