Photos taken from last weekend’s FLOAT Workshop, a grass-roots project started by Xiaowei, a landscape architecture graduate student at Harvard and Deren, a tangible interaction design graduate student at Carnegie Mellon. Here’s an excerpt from the FLOAT website: 

FLOAT Beijing is an interactive, community driven art project that uses kite making and kite flying to activate dialogue, map and record air quality in Beijing, China. FLOAT uses local knowledge sharing, public kite flying and creativity to address issues of air quality.
