Balluminescence - Lights, Balloons, Jellyfish!

Millennium Park, Chicago, IL

August 21, 2009

Balluminescence - Lights, Balloons, Jellyfish! was commissioned by Science Chicago and was created for the program’s finale signature event – LabFest! Millennium Park.

An interactive installation, Balluminescence engaged participants in the process of creating art inspired by science. A team of balloon artists taught LabFest! attendants how to create simple balloon shapes, which were then added to one of three balloon jellyfish costumes. Through the activity, participants learned about air pressure and the biology of jellyfish.
