Doron Gazit first developed an interest in balloons while vacationing in San Francisco in the late 1970s. There he saw children with the tubular balloons used to construct balloon animals and outer shapes. When he returned to his home in Israel, Gazit became a street-corner balloon artist himself, using the proceeds to help finance his studies in industrial design at the Bezaelel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem.

As his interest in balloons and their design possibilities grew, Gazit developed a plastic material that was more durables than that used for traditional rubber balloons Once he had perfected this new material, the balloons could be dramatically extend in size. Using these long balloons, which he first termed "balonaks," Gazit began creating outdoor environmental art installations in Israel. After entering one of this outdoor environmental sculptures in the 1984 International Water Sculpture Competition at the New Orleans World's Fair and becoming one of the dozen finalists, Gazit's reputation as a balloon artist spread.

Gazit was then invited by the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee to create balloon installations at eleven of the Olympic sites. Since then he has installed his balloons, now know as Airtubes, at many different events around the world. The installations are marketed through his company, Air Dimensional Designs, Inc., which is located in Venice, California. He also continues to work as an independent artist, placing Airtube sculptures in natural environments.

In the mid 1980s Gazit began experimenting with smaller versions of the Airtube. First called Windbags, but now known as Windtubes, these eight foot long balloons can be inflated by hand and can be imprinted with designs or messages. Gazit designed them to be used as promotional items or interactive children's toys.

Air Dimensional Design, Inc. has done many installations for prominent corporations such as Citibank, Walt Disney World, and the ABC and NBC television networks.
