Inflatable versions of the UK’s Stonehenge, the Moai of Easter Island in Chile, the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, Italy’s Tower of Pisa in Italy, and the Arc de Triomphe in France – some more than 13 metres tall – will be on display. Inspired by images conceived by Armenian AI studio Joann, the “Inflatable Wonders” will be illuminated at night.
