Urballoon is an urban media space: a balloon equipped with a projector and wireless connection to the web that enables people to submit content online and broadcast it in public spaces.
The project was initially developed and shown at Eyebeam in 2002 under an artist residency program. The first public flight and projections on the streets occured in October 2004, at City Hall Park in New York, as part of the Spectropolis wireless art event.
Urballoon is a patent pending application for new social communcation in public spaces using wireless technologies and the web.
