Aerosolar

Aerocene is a global, open-source community project that began in 2007 – it collects and re-uses plastic bags, transforming them into large solar-heated “aerosolar” balloons, symbolizing a shift in how we treat plastic waste. ​

The project invites workshops, collaborative construction, drawings and stories on the material, engaging people in questions about our relationship with the environment, material futures, and collective living. ​

Since its inception, it’s been staged in more than 55 locations across 24 countries, emphasizing participation, reuse and imaginative acts of flight rather than a static artwork.​
