Jimmy and I had an afternoon messing around with balloons. We wanted to take the 'explosive' element of our fictional bomb and extend it into an immersive structure - an architecture at the speed of sound. Obviously we didn't attempt a detention, we wanted to see the structure and test the feeling of being surrounded in balloons. It had an amazing acoustic effect and was really quite scary, as you can see from Jimmy's face:
The idea here, is to velcro the balloons together and have individual detonators on each balloon - the control of the explosion will be handled by a computer. Jimmy suggested anthrax in each balloon, i think it maybe going too far!
If I told you exactly how you looked in that image Jimmy I don't think you'd ever forgive me. These are nice though. Let's make a really big one. Couldn't we do something low-tech with pins?
