Project 2011.1: The Story of Machines That Never Flew

“The Story of Machines That Never Flew” is an aerial installation of fantastic aircraft dreamed up by thinkers and dreamers, ancient and modern. Beam campers and staff constructed and documented their building of a collection of distinct mechanical and sculptural inventions to tell the stories of the designers whose imaginations soared but whose creations never left the ground. Their creations interpreted the stories of Icarus, Leonardo Davinci, Francesco Delana, George Cayley, The Prisoners of Colditz and Thomas Walker.
