Now, as for packaging and selling air, I'm more familiar with the plight of people who live in countries where packaging and selling rainwater is not only silly or far-fetched, but a reality. Just look at this PBS page featuring stories and images about the privatization of water in Bolivia: http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/bolivia/

Maybe the design scene is not too familiar with this, because they're busy branding bottled water from Canada? http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/water/]]> C. Tate http://observatory.designobserver.com/feature/rarified-air/28888/#comments 2011-07-15T08:52:53-05:00 Life is absurd. Will Hot Air sell?
Yes.
Stimulate the senses and you have product.
Combine Flavor + Fragrance with heat and you have an industry—add a little design and you have a culture.
Do it with something you can drink and you have Starbucks.

Does free Wi-Fi + great music = Hot Air?
Let your Android phone
Pick up the tab.
