Air Giants

Family, Installation, Music/Sound

It is night time and a child is looking up above them at the large lit up bulbous inflatable installation that is bending over them.

A huge and beautiful installation which celebrates the wonder and intelligence of nature’s designs.

Unfurl is a garden like no other. It is a huge and beautiful installation which celebrates the wonder and intelligence of nature’s designs.

It’s a place where the plants know that you have come to visit and reach out to connect with you.  A dreamscape of towering interactive gentle giants made from fabric and air.  A place full of light, colour and sound, enchanting crowds and individuals alike.

About Air Giants

Air Giants is a new creative robotic studio founded in 2020, by a small team of roboticists, designers and software engineers. The studio is passionate about creating emotionally effective motion at a scale which is thought-provoking and transporting, as well as expanding the notion of what large robots can be used for.

The company’s work sits at the intersection of art and science. It draws on the rich history of performing arts such as theatre and puppetry to deliver exciting encounters with robots which have lasting impact.
