Extreme Sheep LED Art



Granted the act of herding a bunch of scared sheep around just for the fact that one can seems a little immoral, I have to give it to the creativity of these Wales natives. Given some very careful planning, time lapse photography, some battery powered LED's, and a geeky outlook, a truly unique art form has been created.

I scoured the interwebs to see if I could find more acts of such brilliance. As of this writing... nothing. This single viral video is in itself, a sole contribution to the art form.

This video, though arguably entertaining, raises a number of issues. Most significantly is that of course of morality. Granted none of the animals are getting physically hurt, they are being frightened into direction. I imagine similar tactics used on humans would be well... banned. Yet in a similar light what if we were to use such ideas to create a human scale artistic expression?

Well, such expression would probably be accepted as a dance. Drill charts for a symphony of movement. And when you really consider it, is that not what this Extreme Sheep Art is? It's a beautiful synchronized dance... without... well... free will.
