Floating around Charlie

In this short film the viewer floats around Charlies Flunstellas Constellation, which is installed in the Fact sculpture hall, as part of the 'Knowledge Lives Everywhere' exhibition.

The installation was designed by the fantastic young people from year 8 & 9 at Weatherhead High School as part of the Flunstellas project.

The film was made by attaching a tiny video camera to a small blimp balloon and steering it as it floats around the installation using fishing wire.

After a lot of practice I learnt how to excert a lot of control over the Blimpcam. As the day wore on I became attuned to the way that it swung about like an upside down pendulum, I felt like it was me that was up there floating and swinging around Charlies geometric thought shapes.
