Segment 2, beginning at 32:20: Art by way of wind, balloon and camera.
It's a bird! It's a plane! No, that floating object in the sky could just be the latest project from a Kansas City artist with a fascination for not having complete control over his creative endeavors. This has led him to launching weather balloons with a video camera attached into the atmosphere. He explained how he turns the captured images into art.
- Benjamin Todd Wills, Kansas City visual artist
