Asian Public Art News
Art and similar interventions in public space. Coverage moves outwards from Singapore through Asia to the rest of the world. Like nothing else, the idea of "public art" exposes the contradiction inherent in our ideas of "the public" and of "art".

  Singing benches & bins in Cambridge UK - robotic public art
Terrific BBC story headlined Singing benches let loose in city. The art collective Greyworld has unleased these gadgets on public spaces, moving bins and benches that make noise. Apparently the robots can learn to relate to each other in different ways, but I doubt that they can differentiate the humans in their vicinity. Not a cheap project - it cost the Arts Council and the British National Lottery some 100,000 pounds.
