Bloom
Bloom was a collaboration between Keith Braafladt and Asia Ward, and was a selected window display for the Brilliance: Made Here art in storefronts series by Hennepin Theatre Trust
Interview with Hennepin Theatre Trust
Bloom was a strange amorphous inflatable constructed out of painter’s plastic and arduino controlled lights and fans. The inflatable shape was like a mushroom or flower petals, slowly unfurling and pulling away, almost like a slow motion video of a rose in bloom, or a slow motion explosion of a window front.
