Spectres of Liberty images

June 8, 2008

So the Spectres of Liberty project went great! We inflated our 35 foot tall church and had over 200 people come hang out, watch the animation on the outside and check out the inside. Here’s some images, and more info and images can be found on our website.

It’s actually just plastic sheeting and packing tape! Measured, cut and taped into the shape of the building, then inflated with a strong (but still home grade) box fan. The windows were made with plastic of different transparency, and the whole thing was held down with about 800lbs of sandbags.
I just added a link to the post to our website, where you can get more info.
