Creo Productions' official video of event planner Rob Bliss' 2009 ArtPrize entry, "100,000 Paper Airplanes and Melodies Over Monroe." On September 27, 2009, over 20,000 people flooded downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan to play the main melody of Sigur Rós' "Olsen Olsen." The paper airplanes were 100 percent post-consumer and were picked up by children, participants and a professional cleaning crew.

Video produced by www.creoproductions.com and crew. Music by Sigur Rós; used with permission.

  • Grand Rapids is seriously one of my favorite cities, and that says a lot considering I'm from Chicago. I applaud GR year after year for coming up with these great ideas, that city just seems to grow and grow.

  • Art Prize and the related events....one of the coolest ideas of the century! Thank you!

  • @mrejr8234 He didn't have to, and he would have, except the kids enjoyed it so much that they were trying to collect them, after everyone was gone, there were no airplanes left, not even in the trees. Try not to criticize someone when you don't know all the details.

  • i know that guy at 0:48
