-   * A visual survey of -Inflatable Inspirations-.  I came to a collection of 14 sections with each specific qualities. Each section by far don't give a complete overview in its field. But the main criteria for selecting the works is that they are in one way or another inspiring and that they all can lead to new vibrations… Images of Inflatable Inspirations: [[Experience Inflatables]] - [[Powered By Wind]] - [[Parasite Inflatables]] - [[Soap Experiences]] - [[When Nature Inflates]] - [[Environmental Blendings]] - [[Hardened Bubbles]] - [[Inflatable Spaces]] - [[Inflatable Sound]] - [[Interactive Inflatables]] - [[Inflatable Wearables]] - [[The Non Categorized Inflatables]] - [[Lighter Than Air]] - [[Nasa Inflatables]]
