Been working on a concept for some playa art - an installation that turns human power into gigantic floating bubbles (10-30ft).
Video of smaller-scale bubble demonstration:
The bubble solution is water with small amounts of an organic detergent (like dr. bronners) and some sugar for thickening the bubble walls.
The "factory" has a platform to protect the playa from any spills of the solution and bubbles that crash nearby. Will bubbles that impact the playa more distantly from the "factory" be a concern? Who is the art installation point of contact within BM Org that I should ask?
A big, 10-20 foot bubble splatters about a teaspoon or two of water solution in a 10-ft area.

Re: Gigantic Bubble Factory
Worth a shot, but I wonder if the dust will cause the bubbles to prematurely pop.

Re: Gigantic Bubble Factory
A few small soap bubbles wouldn't be much of a concern, but giant bubbles the size of the ones in that video most definitely would be. Even with a friendly soap choice, it may be a significant problem if it's something you're talking about doing repeatedly. You should reach out to Earth Guardians to discuss your plans and get their advice.
