Born out of a desire to create a floating interactive performance art installation and to inspire science and art in the local community, the Airship Victoria blends modern and historical technology to provide a unique spin on airship design and architecture. Through the integration of art, science, air, and electricity, the operators of the Airship Victoria will create floating three-dimensional art that will push the envelopes in visual and audio performance art, as well as science and technology. This ambitious project is only the beginning, and with increased funding and participation, we are all excited to see to what heights the Airship Victoria will soar.
