WHAT IS HUMAN AERIAL ARTWORK?

By definition, "Aerial Art" is the creation of large forms upon a landscape whose design can only be distinguished from an aerial perspective. "Human Aerial Art" involves the use of people to create these large forms. Descending from a tradition of ancient cultural ceremonies, Human Aerial Art today includes documentation through photography and videography. It is defined in art history as human pointillism. Its modern form originated from a famous series of photographs by the team of Mole and Thomas produced in the early 20th Century. Throughout the years various forms of Human Aerial Art have been utilized in the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics, by marching bands, commercial advertising, and by activists.

In contrast to benefit concerts where only a handful of artists take to the stage while thousands watch from their seats, human aerial artwork provides a unique opportunity for audience members to actually participate in the performance, and therefore "co-create" the artwork.

Our form of Human Aerial Art brings together communities to create large-scale messages for the common good. Focusing on themes of human rights, social justice and freedom, we strive to liberate the spirit and inspire unity through creative participation.

Human Aerial Art images are spectacular and bold. They can bring thousands of people together in cooperation, celebration and declaration. These images not only leave a lasting impression on those who witness the experience, they posses the power to transform participants into messengers for the cause.
