Abstract. I will be talking about the knotting of 1-dimensional objects (hoops) and 2-dimensional objects (balloons) in 4-dimensional space: about a nice set of operations that act on such knottings, and about a nice invariant that intertwines these operations and that is valued in some copies of the free Lie algebra in a number of generators (trees) plus the space of cyclic words (wheels).
