It was a cold and rainy afternoon in Berlin and our last chance to do The Berlin Balloon Project since Luca (http://youtube.com/lucaliveshere one of the co-founders of The Balloon Project was leaving the next day. We strapped more than 30 helium balloons to a video camera and sent it up all by itself over the city some few hundred meters. We then proceeded to chase it down with bikes as the rain slowly brought it back to earth and in friendly hands. (At 4 minutes it crosses over the Berlin Wall on Bernauer Str.) See how we got the camera back here: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=81TPfSpKXrA

feels rather arbitrary.
