Ocupación
The artist's concept: to walk in traffic with car horns strapped to her back.
Or, as the translated text from YouTube says: "Occupation of space for the transit of cars with loud support from a portable device with 4 horns (12 v) for cars."

As much as I love ripping on talentless performance artists...
I liked it.
The fact that she was keeping pace, and something about the way she carried herself without looking around a lot that made her seem to fit with the rest of the traffic. I ride through traffic every day, but bikes don't fit in, they just coexist. There was something cool about the way her spot in traffic felt almost appropriate. Like it was less focused on the dehumanizing effects of being a driver in a sea of gridlock and more interested in the flavor of just being there.

Interesting study in fluid motion, as y'all say, but more fluid applied to the viewer would have helped. :lol:
@Goran: I sort'a agree but around here it gets weird!
