Inspired by Open Burble, commissioned by the Singapore Biennale in 2006, Burble London opened to the public to celebrate London Fashion Week at 8:20 pm on Sunday, September 16, 2007.
The Burble is a massive structure composed of 1000+ helium balloons which contain micro-controllers and LEDs that create patterns of light across the surface. People come together and control it via a long, interactive handle bar at its base.
"The ephemeral experience exists at such a large scale that it is able to compete visually in an urban context with the buildings that surround it." (Haque: Design + Research)
Come on people... burble with me.
