Borealis at Phish Festival 8 by Hector Serrano. We made a colorful blimp out of 300 balloons. The size was 10'x30' and was tethered to a movie camera dolly. We paraded it through the crowd to a wildly positive reception. Check out this video around 2:22 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oV9IVVmp4Mo

Lucent Dossier at Coachella 2009. Their placement in the center of the festival was our centerpiece. Some art hits a few senses, but within The Do Lab all senses are entertained.

Hand of Man by Christian Ristow at Coachella 2009. It is comprised of a 26-foot (8 meter) long hydraulically-actuated human hand and forearm which is capable of picking up and crushing cars, and a “glove” device that controls it. Any movement in the “glove” controller is accurately reproduced in the large robotic Hand.
