One side of the poster contains an image of the character based on Helvetica Neue 75 bold and made up of 40 helium-filled balloons. The reverse (pictured at the bottom of this page) offers a short text in Irish and English on the history of the ampersand. (via)

» Flying Priest Found Dead in Atlantic
In an effort to raise [money for] charity, Father De Carli planned to stay in the air for more than 19 hours using 1,000 party balloons, taking a GPS with him to communicate his position in case of emergency. Unfortunately for the generous man, the trip ended in disaster [683 miles from where it began].

Digital Confetti installation by Interaction Lab at Rockwell Group…
A twelve-foot diameter weather balloon floats above the pool at the Four Seasons restaurant. Projectors surrounding the balloon display Digital Confetti, small colorful shapes that mimic swimming fish in their movements. The graphic on the screen is also effected by special maracas around the pool. Shaking each of the eight maracas has a separate effect on the projected ecosystem. One stirs up the confetti, causing a firework-like spectacle of light, color and sound. The second brings text to the surface of the balloon. Continued shaking of these maracas causes letters to vibrate and eventually flip and transform into one of a sequence of words related to design. The words are projected as black, causing them to be illuminated by the background explosions of confetti, which encourages collaborative interaction. Each maraca also generates a different musical note, creating a harmony of sounds when all shaken together. (via)
