ISEA 2012 Workshop: Mapping with balloons and kites
by danny bazo and bruno vianna.
Lucas Bambozzi is head of Arte.mov Festivall in Brazil. He told about flying priest from Brazil, who left on a balloon.
Bruno Vianna did a project in kites in the night, where kids were aiming texts on the kites with a projector.
Practical:
- Spray soap-water on the seems of the Mylar inflatable, to find a leak.
- Helium lift: 1 gr of lift for 1 litre helium.
- In hot climate conditions, a black trash-bin material can be used to lift; the black material heats the air inside.
- A sphere is the most economical structure for lift.
- A sled-kite is good stable kite for lifting a camera.
- With a camera; fix the on-button with tape.
