On Wednesday, August 17, 2011, AF Calgary July 2011 fellows Claudia Bustos and Vlad Amiot presented their second installation based on their project proposal "Calgary's Illuminated Landscapes."
Entitled "Play!" Calgarians of all ages were encouraged to bring their inner child and to come down to Prince's Island Park from 10 p.m. to 12 a.m. to create and to play with balloons with LEDs embedded in them.
Likened to a glow-in-the-dark ball pit, participants tossed, kicked and buried themselves in balloons, and fun was had by all.
Approximately 50 people came out in the middle of the week to play along (many despite having to work the next morning), and this video is a short montage of what happened that night:

And if you've missed out on the previous two installations, there may be one more opportunity to take part in this AF Calgary funded project before the summer is up. Stay tuned!
Finally, don't forget that May 2011's AF Calgary winning project "MP3 Experiment" takes place this Sunday, August 21 at Sien Lok Park at 2 p.m. If you want to take part, check out Audio Mob YYC.
