Sculpture Construction this weekend!

Hello everyone,
We will be installing the first Balluminescence sculpture in the BSLC starting the Friday at 5:30 pm. Work will continue through Saturday and we plan to have the sculpture completely finished by Sunday evening. Lots of help will be needed to make this project happen (especially on Sunday evening to lift the sculpture into place!), so stop by sometime this weekend to lend a hand. We will be in the basement of the BSLC where the computers are. There will be two construction processes going on simultaneously - the electronics and the balloons. You don't need to have experience with either balloons or electronics and we will need help with both.

Below is a tentative schedule of the construction process this weekend:

Friday April 17

5:30 pm to 7 pm: Meet in basement of BSLC. Build 4 8x8 LED grids. Lots of help will be needed for this part. To see an example of what we'll be doing, check out this video.
7 pm - 8 pm: Pizza. If you want some pizza, please let me know that you'll be present. We will be splitting the cost of the pizza amongst us.
8 pm - 12 am: Finish LED grids. Build part of balloon sculpture.


Saturday April 18
9 am to 2 pm: Build balloon sculpture.
2 pm to 4 pm: Insert LED grids into balloons. Power up everything to make sure it's working.
4 pm to 12 am: Build balloon sculpture


Sunday April 19
12 pm to 6 pm: build balloon sculpture.
6 pm to 8 pm: Lift balloon sculpture into place and secure it. Lots of help needed.
I hope to see you all sometime this weekend.

Chyrs,
Willy
