The sight of one Maneki Neko, or “Lucky Cat,” beckoning to you from behind a shop window is cute—if you even happen to notice it at all. There’s definitely no way to miss the stares of the 520 felines in media artist Boris Petrovsky’s Global Pursuit of Happiness, an installation which debuted at Stuttgart’s recent Art Karlsruhe fair, and the cumulative effect is mesmerizing (via Watch: An Art Piece Where 520 Lucky Cats Wave in Unison | Co.Design: business innovation design)
The New Aesthetic was missing something…cats. What is the internet without cats?
