Air Bear: plastic bag sculpture for subway gratings

submitted by oxdottir

Fantastic. Looks like trash until the subway woosh comes. May not thrill some as much as the Marilyn Monroe skirt trick, but I like it a lot.

I feel sad when he deflates.

See more at http://www.videosift.com/video/Air-Zoo-More-Street-Art. The artist is Joshua Allen Harris.

hey, this made me smile. what a nice idea.

making the world a better place, one plastic bag at a time...

Really cool! Looks a bit more like Air Bud than Air Bear, but still really clever. Though, if I was the artist, I'd be worried someone might actually try to throw it in the nearest trash/recycle bin.

Next we need to see the inflatable woman over the grate upgrade.

Odd, I get the same look on my face when I get blown...

...go to sleep right after too...

No!! Don't die!! Oh... my sweet little dog/bear/sheep/animal thingie...

can think of so many wonderful air-driven street creation ideas....
Inflatable Penis ("Bite Me" written on the head at prepuce reveal)
Inflatable World Trade Center Effigy
how about a whole buncha undead coming to life along the length of the entire grate inserts-Inflatable Band o' Zombies
A bagga feathers would be cool, too-or a soap-bubble grate-coater....

Urban art rules!
