Bracken is an artist in Toronto, Canada who has created many different public art installations all over major cities in the United States and Canada. The purpose of these large installations is to promote free events in public space while bringing people together with fun events. A lot of these events have also been used to raise money for charities.
These installations have included giant pillow fights, lightsaber battles, and giant games of capture the flag across downtown areas. These are really amazing because they bring life and fun to the urban life. Often times people (especially in the Metropolitan scene) are so busy. Cars, trains, and people are always going from place to place as people work, work, work. These events put a pause on all that. People can come together and be silly for a little while. They can live life and enjoy being a kid once again.
This picture is of their International Pillow Fight Day in New York City. 5000 people participated in over 150 cities.
