Band of Birds

First it was videos of cats that could play better than me. Now it's birds.

French artist Celest Boursier-Mougenot assembled these avian guitar heroes -- 40 zebra finches -- in a room as part of an exhibition featuring aleatoric music (that's music that's created at random). In the past, Boursier-Mougenot has made music by hooking up harmonicas to 13 vacuum cleaners and by floating bowls and glasses in inflatable kiddie pools and letting them clink at will.
