Untitled Floating Object

Take a helium balloon, put an LED inside and you have a glowing balloon. Take several dozen glowing balloons, wire them into
a grid, add a control circuit to switch them on and off at will, and you have a lighter than air, programmable pixilated display.
Even if your Space Invader pattern is corrupt, it still looks great floating enormous in the night sky.
Thanks to the generous help of Colleen Asper, Jennifer Dudley, Ben Kinsley, and Katja Mater
