Joshua Allen Harris. If you were to remember one name for the rest of your artistic life, it should be the incredible and ***young** Joshua Harris. Studying under the great modern artist, Tobi Kahn, Harris completed a class project, of using recycled objects, by cutting up and taping garbage bags into forms of animals and attaching them to the subway grates on the streets of NYC. So, the genius is, when a subway rumbles past, the air from the subway rises through the grate and inflates the bags, thereby inflating the animal to it's full form. When the subway has passed, the animal drifts down again to the city streets and looks, once again, like a pile of useless garbage bags. The creativity of these art pieces is incredible and although I have yet to see one in action, the pictures are seriously AWESOME.
