An extreme athlete is coming to the 28th Slovenian Advertising Festival, who jumped from the stratosphere in 2012 as part of the Red Bull Stratos project and became the first person to independently break the sound barrier. Felix Baumgartner is a pilot and record holder in extreme skydiving.
Alan Eustace, Google's vice president of the board, beat Austrian Felix Baumgartner's achievement in the state of New Mexico (USA) and improved the height jump record by a good kilometer and a half, thus moving the bar from 39,045 meters above sea level to 41,419, where he rose from by means of a helium balloon attached to the body and not by means of a capsule like Felix.
The Japanese Azuma Makoto did not gather a gallery or maybe a flower shop for the exhibition space of his botanical installations, but space. He sent a Japanese white pine (bonsai) and some carefully designed flower arrangements into the weightless space. Since I'm sure you haven't seen the exhibition live, a photo gallery awaits you below.
Can you imagine jumping from the edge of space at a height of almost 39 kilometers? Do you know the feeling of a dizzying speed above 1340 km/h? Neither do we, which is why we have Felix Baumgartner here.
