The first thought that comes to mind when you enter the Balloon Museum for the “Let’s Fly” exhibit is the massive scale of the art.
An immersive installation ball pit called"Hyperstellar" by Hyperstudio, is installed as part of the Balloon Museum's U.S. exhibition"Let's Fly," at the museum's Manhattan's Pier 36 site, Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2023, in New York. The exhibition runs from Oct. 27, through Jan. 14.
Some installations are introspective, some put you in awe, while others literally make it about the journey. Take the “Flying Maze,” an inflatable labyrinth by French artist Cyril Lancelin. This large green inflated structure resembles a bouncy house you would encounter at a carnival or kid’s birthday party. Yet, it differs because you’re bouncing off the tubular walls while making your way through the narrow maze, a disco ball awaiting you in the center.
“You can actually jump into a giant ball pit and somehow reconnect to your childhood while being inside the light and visual and sound performance,” Caimmi said. Her installation honors the contribution of Ada Lovelace, the 19th century mathematician whose work with Charles Babbage discovered the groundwork on how binary code could provide instructions for computers.
While the exhibition varies in content from each city the Balloon Museum takes up residency, there’s one constant, Balloon Street, where guests can be fully immersed and become part of the installations. Whether that means taking pictures with your head in the clouds — made of balloons, of course — or putting yourself inside a large red balloon, this is a section primarily dedicated to the guests.
