this is stupid... animals do not have an artistic bone in their body. If they werent kept in zoo's they wouldn't be bored because they would be doing what they were made to be doing... Being free. This in essance is animal explotation and I do not agree with it.

- The word 'art' is meant to be open to interpretation. Jack states from 3:13 that the exhibition is meant to call into question what we consider art. Where is the line between an animal playing with materials and it creating 'art'? For the debate on the ethics of zoos, check out 'Captive or Conserved?' on QRator.org - Rob

If they weren't kept in zoos they wouldn't be bored because they would be doing what they were made to be doing...surviving. Often dying early. Having to maintain and viciously defend territories.

¿cómo pueden pensar en hacer un registro de expresión "individual" de un animal a través de una reja en la que a penas cabe la brocha? es triste como el ser humano utiliza a los animales... para zoológicos o para exposiciones....
How can they think of making a record of a "individual" expression of an animal through a grate in which hardly fits the brush? sad how humans use animals ... for zoos or exhibitions ....

its not stupid, this does indeed keep them mentally occupied though its not something they would do in the wild... and yes they wouldn't be bored in the wild but that's one of the reason for having them paint, also it would be dangerous releasing them into the wild there is so much poaching and habitat destruction right now, and I have no idea in what way this is animal exploitation

Coercion? Nice use of completely invalid terms to describe positive reinforcement to support your whacky beliefs.

Correct, but a similar thing could be said about humans. Human interest in art increased enormously w civilization--- after the disappearance of the wild hunter-gatherer environment we evolved in.

The most outstanding piece is the painted by the elephant because he seems to draw real plants and flowers. That's another level about comprehension of what he is doing,
