- Balloon Chain. Guests can participate in this "art" that consists of gas-filled balloons anchored to "balloon wranglers" who roam the festival. The balloon chain changes throughout the day and night reacting to the weather.
- Cryochrome. The name loosely means "frozen colors." Festival goers can participate in this interactive, large-scale sculpture.
- Eepert Village. It's the world premiere of the Ernie Towers inspired by futuristic gardens that defy gravity.
- Escape Velocity. It is a sculpture with kinetic motion that roams the festival and develops relationships with other art and the audience. Interactive video projection mapping makes it possible.
