Birds and Electric Guitars can be art.
Here is a very cool video of an art instllation by French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot. It was commissioned for the Curve in Barbican, London. Quote from the Curve site, "(Boursier-Mougenot)... creates works by drawing on the rhythms of daily life to produce sound in unexpected ways..."Boursier-Mougenot created a walk through Aviary with electric guitars inside it so the birds (zebra finches) make music as they go about their daily bird business. It's a really interesting idea. Kudos to you Céleste Boursier-Mougenot.
