Tiger on loose in San Jose!

Since coming out here I pay good heed to the posted warnings about Mountain Lions when out mountain biking in the Santa Cruz mountains. But I never expected to see a tiger running wild in downtown San Jose.

This was the work of artist Karolina Sobecka for the inaugral ZeroOne art festival, which also included such delights as karaoke ice cream trucks, fire-breathing robots and pigeons with GPS.

She projected video of the tiger from a car as she drove through San Jose (not just stock film, but animated frames of her paintings). The tiger’s movements were programmed to correspond to the speed of the car and the architecture of the city became an active part in the performance. Grrrreat. Link.
