Blakebrough's Winged Self hovers like a flying carpet controlled by the artist's body movements. This is a real flying platform based on the 1950s vertical flight experiments of Charles Zimmerman proving the feasibility of a simple aircraft flyable by anyone capable of riding a bicycle.

You can see it in person at The Big Chill festival this summer.
