Magpie

The Magpie and the rest of its family are fond of bright objects. It has been observed that they cut up their food in correctly sized proportions. In captivity magpies have been observed counting up to get food, imitating human voices, and regularly using tools to clean their own cages. In the wild, they organize themselves into gangs when confronted by predators.

Cai Guo Qiang - Endless, 2010

“Two machines—one for making gentle waves, the other for creating atmospheric fog—are used to create the high tech exhibit Endless.

In contrast, three traditional wooden boats sway eternally in an extensive pool of water. One is a fishing boat used for countless centuries around Qanzhou; the other two are Gulf-region Houri vessels. Are they travelling, or are they at rest? Are they real or imaginary? A mirage?” 

OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU, CAI GUO-QIANG! (actually from 2011)
