Céleste Boursier-Mougenot‘s installation ‘from here to ear’ (2009/2010) consists of a group of birds in an environment fitted with amplified guitars. The birds compose live music every day during the course of the exhibition.
Thanks to Julian.

‘The national dinner tour’ by Marc Horowitz
Horowitz was working as a photo assistant for Crate & Barrel. While on set one day, he wrote “dinner w/ marc 510-872-7326,” his name and cell phone, on a dry erase board featured in a desk product shot (above picture). A few months later, the catalog, containing his dinner invitation, was printed and sent to millions of people. Horowitz eventually received over 30,000 calls from people wanting to dine with him. As a result, he traveled the USA in a tiny RV for a year dining with strangers.
Weihnachtsmarktskulpturen
It’s Christmasmarket time in Germany and in Leipzig I saw this stall. It had some nice sculptures on its roof!

‘Calculator haikus’, by Amos Latteier
Latteier wrote haikus by using the numbers on calculators to form words and then turning the calculator upside down.
“The calculator vocabulary is rather limited. I have come up with 118 words. I wrote a program to search the dictionary and select words that can be spelled using the letters that can be formed on a calculator. Among these are such choice words as gigolo, besiege, and ghee.”
Here’s one:
“Illegible blob
Legless eggshell oozes oil
Elegize his loss
Hellish shoe is beige
I slosh soil, slog hill
Hobble, oh high heel”
