It made me smile just watching the video.
Stuart Semple released 2057 pink smiley faced clouds near the Tate Modern museum in London (great museum btw if you happen to visit London). They were made of helium, biodegradable soap and vegetable dye and after 30 minutes they dissolved in the air.
From artist's, Stuart Semple, website...
I just wanted to make a piece of work that would cheer people up a bit. I've had enough of the doom and gloom in the air and I wanted to show something completely positive floating up to the sky. This was the most straight forward way I could think of to literally contribute something happy to the atmosphere. I'm hoping it might put a smile on a few people's faces as they go through their day.
...I know at times like this it's easy to make creativity a low priority but I want to show that on a very human level an artistic idea might be able to do something important even for a fleeting moment.
Have a look and a smile...
