Outside the Art Institute of Chicago, hundreds of children at heart gather for an event any parent passing by (or in this case, city authority) will be itching to interrupt. Inspired by the interactive public art of Newmindspace, World Pillow Fight Day enters its second year of creating feather-filled chaos on city streets from Quebec City to Quito, Ecuador. There are a few rules to keep this from being a total free-for-all for pillow-wielding revelers. So before grabbing the softest pillow in your pad, remember to leave your glasses and other breakable belongings at home. But a camera might be worth bringing, and may keep you safe from some swings.
