Official Video: Rob Bliss 2009 ArtPrize Paper Airplane Event

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.
