Peep Show

Peep Show

A popular new version of Big Brother online has been created by a Norwegian artist: This time with birds instead of people as the "contestants." Magne Klann put a wooden birdhouse in a tree at Bogstad Gaard in Oslo with a webcam inside it. The daily life of the birds using the house -- replete with lamps, a TV and pictures on the wall -- are shown on his website. A family of blue tits is currently occupying the house, but other birds have used it. "One could call it art but for me it is a social realistic experiment with birds," said Klann. He confessed he got the idea from Big Brother, and just swapped people for birds. But he said there would be no evictions.
