Art, damn it, art! watch (#10 in a series).

Laurie Anderson, my favorite living performance artist, played her latest composition for the first time over the weekend.

The piece is called “Music for Dogs”.

Hundreds of dogs and their owners bounced around as Anderson entertained them with 20 minutes of thumping beats, whale calls, whistles and a few high-pitched electronic sounds imperceptible to human ears.

The concert was originally billed as a performance for dogs’ ears only, and was going to be largely limited to electronic noises played at a frequency too high for human ears. But Anderson changed things up when she decided she wanted people to have some fun, too.
