Not many know that the Cloud was actually originally designed, and is still technically capable of being fully suspended by a crane and flying over the crowd. However with only about 2 months before BM19, we were told we couldn’t do this. This led to a panicked effort to design and add the legs in the final hours. We shipped to BM with less than 24 hours to spare. All involved probably lost 2-3 years of their lives due to the associated stress 😂This fundraising render is about the only record left of the original design we worked on for almost a full year. One day, we hope to find a place where we can truly fly it :) If you’ve ever wondered if there was art that was just TOO crazy for the Burn, this is it.
