Could a Loft Full of Balloons Lead To World Peace?
Art world darling George Zisiadis uses principles of sociology to create interactive art that slyly challenges our perceptions of the world.
Some of the most fascinating people in today’s culture are distinguished not just by their craft, but also by their passions. We call them the New Alphas.

As an artist, he creates interactive spaces that tap into our inner child, like a drone that dangles mistletoe or a loft filled with balloons.
