This is a family of three monumental cats, all fast asleep. The cats have massive purrs and heartbeats, they switch their tails and twitch their ears. They respond to their audiences, too, sleeping less deeply (and purring and moving more) with a larger crowd. Like real pets they are all very tactile, encouraging hugs and cuddles with a tactile purr. They are inflatable and gorgeously decorated, using our trademark soft robotics to generate motion and […]

Unfurl is a garden like no other. Nature, art and technology have combined to create something spectacular. The piece consists of 19 plants, 9 of which are massive robots. Unfurl is our largest work to date and its modular design means that it is highly adaptable to almost any site. It’s a place where the plants know that you have come to visit and reach out to connect with you. A dreamscape of interactive gentle […]

Luma is a 9m long snail who loves an audience. We drew inspiration from the extraordinary range of flexing and contorting motion found in bio-mechanics to give Luma a beautiful movement. Her presence as she looms above visitors is gentle, welcoming and otherworldly. Audiences of all ages have instinctive emotional and affectionate reactions to Luma, as well as enjoying the simple spectacle of such a fantastic creature in its own right. ​Luma is a joyful […]

From Bristol’s fertile ground has sprouted something new and strange. Part fungus, part creature, at a giant fairytale scale… Gigantic, inflatable and illuminated creatures are wrapped around trees and lampposts (or truss), inviting passers-by to play by hugging, squeezing or poking them. Using pioneering soft robotic technology, the fairy ring of creatures respond with synchronised shape-change, vibration, light and sound. ​The work premiered at the Playable City Showcase in Bristol from 4 – 9 July […]

The Cat That Slept For A Thousand Years is a new creation from Air Giants, a huge, snoozing cosmic cat that has fallen from space, curled up and made itself at home. Visitors can show their affection by giving it a stroke or a cuddle, and feel a massive purr.It snores, it purrs, it twitches its enormous tail and sometimes an ear. The more people there are, the more restless it is.It’s our largest work […]
