The opening of Colorados Aspen Art Museum might have been a cause for local art lovers to celebrate over the weekend, if it werent for one controversial exhibit that has many residents and animal rights activists already upset with it. For an exhibition titled Moving Ghost Town, artist Cai Guo-Qiang has strapped two iPads each to the back of three tortoises, which wander around an enclosed area while the tablets display video footage — ostensibly taken by tortoises themselves — of nearby ghost towns. Activists are concerned that the iPads are harming the turtles. Calling the exhibition animal exploitation and abuse, over 5,300 people have now signed a Change.org petition requesting that the iPads are removed and that the tortoises are returned to a sanctuary.
