American rock musician, songwriter and photographer Lou Reed and experimental performance artist, composer and musician Laura Phillips “Laurie” Anderson presented a high-frequency concert for dogs. The sounds were played at high frequency like a dog whistle, setting dogs’ ears twitching but barely audible to their owners.
The show took place outside the Sydney Opera House, was largely inaudible to human. She said the inspiration for the performance at the Vivid Live festival in Sydney came while she was backstage at an event and thought: “Wouldn’t it be great, if you were playing a concert and you look out and you see all dogs?”
