Art by Animals

I think they deserve our attention, especially in modern times, because of our blindness and indifference, when many many animal species become extinct per daily basis!

We often dream of computers as being superb to any life form on Earth, we give them soul, so to say, even we put them in front of ourselfs! Are they that good?

Look here! They are animals and they are artists!

Re: Art by Animals

Yes, i find in particular that some birds are incredible, much clever and strange than we were told a few decades ago !

Look at this one, seriously :shock: :
"The Great Bowerbirds Create Theaters with Forced Perspective When Seen by Their Audience"

(free pdf on the top right)

Another Interesting paper here :
"Bowerbirds, art and aesthetics
Are bowerbirds artists and do they have an aesthetic sense?"
