Landmark on Location: MIT Floating Display for 150th Anniversary Celebration

Weather Troubles with MIT Video Barge
One of the most harrowing installs we’ve had: MIT’s video barge was to float on the Charles River for five days. With unusually windy weather, we had to de-inflate and re-inflate the balloon to prevent damage.
Thanks to some quick thinking and fast action, the end result was simply one of the coolest things we’ve seen.

- Vaughan Cutillo, Montauk Brewing Company
"[The logo] helped us create a better presence, improved foot traffic, became a photo backdrop and helped us have the best-looking booth at the events,"
- Laura Repreza, KTLM Telemundo 40
"We usually have to keep the arch up for at least 30 minutes after our races since so many people want to get their photos taken with it!"
- Art Boulet, Muddy Monk
