Shonzilla, a pattern-seeking animal

Have you heard of Chatroulette?

If not, you must have been on a really long vacation (I envy you).

Anyway, this will be probably the best thing done with Chatroulette. Anything else is most probably either the waste of time or slightly amusing.

What you’re seeing above is a musical installation composed (pun intended) out of electric guitars rigged to distortion effects and birds flying around them and plucking the guitar wires. The author of the installation is Céleste Boursier-Mougenot at it could have been seen in action at Barbican Centre, London.

Now I believe in a theory that Neil Young used a similar technique to make the soundtrack for the seminal Jim Jarmusch acid western movie “Dead man”. Sorry for the abundance of links. If you understand the context, you’ll understand why it’s important. ;-)
