The show's long-standing approach has been to highlight the absurdities of real-world events…

Study shows moths are tuned to plant noise — and skip the noisy ones

In a remarkable turn for our understanding of insect behavior, new scientific research has revealed that moths are capable of detecting acoustic cues from plants — and they appear to prefer quieter ones when choosing where to lay their eggs. This discovery shifts long-held assumptions about how insects interact with their environment and opens up new avenues of exploration in the field of ecological communication.The study's findings suggest that moths, far from being passive navigators of the natural world, are acutely attuned to the subtle sounds emitted by the plants around them.

Maurizio Cattelan’s $6 million banana sculpture eaten—again

Conceptual art often walks a fine line between provocation and absurdity.

The artwork quickly became a cultural flashpoint, sparking endless discussions about the definition of art, the value we assign to objects, and the role of performance in contemporary galleries. But more recently, “Comedian” has returned to the spotlight for a reason as audacious as the piece itself: someone has eaten it. Again.The banana, initially priced at $120,000, is recognized more…
