inflatable mobile interactive travelling installation
The 350.org mobile interactive travelling installation promoting the 350.org environmental programme is a spectacular lightweight monkey-walk outdoor space, presented in more than 20 locations. It is a sewn together structure of textile compartments of different pressures, supplied with air by a cold-air blower motor. The trunk is kept at a constant pressure, the pressure of the canopy can be controlled by the people standing around it by hand, and the increase in pressure causes the canopy to return to its original shape.
