visit the windowzoo - birds are art, too!

[sanakan]

check out this streetart-project from a friend of mine:

windowzoo.com

basically the idea is simple:
you know those bird-stickers one uses to scare birds away from big glass-surfaces (so they won't fly into the glass)?
he started making his own bird-shapes out of sticky foil, and keeps putting them up on various locations all around the world - but almost always on glass, also besides the "boring" standard-stickers.
As this is non-destructive art only visible to those with keen eyes and a sense for discovering the unusual, it remains exhibited longer - and generates more buzz among those in the know.

check out the big gallery with pictures from *a lot* of birds all around the globe! right now there are 169 birds in 55 cities: take a look at the worldmap showing the locations.
There's also a little shop where you can get some birds of your own, to help spreading the zoo.

if you have a free minute it'd be nice of you to drop by on his site, and take a look at the project yourself. some feedback is always appreciated

This is really cool. I love projects like this, where little by little people begin to realize tha what they are seeing is unique and part of a bigger project.
Very interesting!
