Aeolus is one of a range of complex and ambitious projects artist Luke Jerram has recently created. Jerram is well known for Play Me, I’m Yours – where dozens of pianos are installed across a city for the public to play. Sky Orchestra – a flotilla of 7 hot air balloons with speaker attached that fly over a city playing sleep music, performing this summer across London for the Olympics. Jerram's Glass Microbiology sculptures are in Museum collections around the world. In 2010 he was awarded The Rakow Award for this work and a fellowship at the Museum of Glass, Washington. Jerram completed Aeolus as a research fellow at the University of Southampton and artist in residence at the Pervasive Media Studio, Bristol. www.lukejerram.com
