masses have been twist balloons into squeaky fiddling animals for decades , but Willy Chyr ’s study score an phylogenesis in the craft . Instead of dogs and bunnies , he make mammoth , scientific discipline - prompt sculptures of jellyfish , nerve cell , and zooid . Huh ?
Chyr , who has degrees in economic science and physics , learned the art of balloon - torture at Le Vorris & Vox Circus . His most late project is Balluminescence , a aggregation of huge balloon carving modeled on creatures that beget their own light through bioluminescence .
The task ’s pièce de résistance was a jumbo jellyfish , constructed from over a 1000 balloons . A acquaintance recorded this time lapse video of Chyr and his cohorts set up the creature in Chicago ’s Millenium Park last declination :
The Millenium Park consequence , entitled Balluminescence – Lights , Balloons , Jellyfish ! , was commissioned by Science Chicago and teach kids about jellyfish biological science , as well as how to make some balloon animals of their own . Undoubtedly , some tyke had trouble with the dodgy outgrowth , and were told , “ there , there , say ‘ please , ’ and I ’m sure the nice man will make you a zooplankton . ” [ Willy ChyrviaIt ’s Nice That ]
