Burst the balloon: Conceptual artist Jordan Johnson ties helium balloons to signed and numbered pages so that they fly away when he is finished typing them. Happening today, 3 September in (where else?) Brooklyn, NY.
- LETTERS TAKE FLIGHT
By Jordan Johnson.
Well, with the price of stamps these days, will not be surprised if this catches on all over the typosphere !
Johnson will be launching his missives today at the Marathon of Speeches in Brooklyn. This Brooklyn Paper article has a bit more–er, except the time. Have resolved to: 1) Shamelessly borrow this idea for the October Type-IN; 2) Type and send a quick letter using a similar method and slightly different medium of travel. More on that in the next post.

What a neat idea.
