Edinburgh, UK. 29/03/2013. New York artist Jason Hackenwerth today (29/03) unveiled his ‘Pisces’ balloon sculpture at the Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh for the Edinburgh International Science Festival. It took members of staff 6 days to blow up the 10,000 balloons.

Here’s the proof.

I was just looking through some notes I made when I was in North Korea in April and found a quote from my guide from when we were in Hamhung,
 “If you go outside [the hotel] you will disappear, we will kidnap you and you will never come back, don’t go outside!” 
Mrs Pak had drunk a few Soju’s by this point in the evening, so it was said in a slightly light hearted way, but at the same time, you could tell she was very, very serious about not going outside…
