Description
Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Humanities and Social Sciences This is a one hour VHS videotape from October and November, 1986 which documents repeated attempted to inflate and sail Leonard’s colorful balloon. Background noise from generator is obvious for much of tape but the on-going process of inflating this creation is caught on tape quite well. Sherman’s two page log notes of this activity summarize the events of those days in a succinct manner.
