Alexei Shulgin is an internet artist from Moscow. He uses an old computer harddrive with a keyboard to recreate versions of popular songs. He has recreated "California Dreaming" as well as "Smells like Teen Spirit," by Nirvana. I find his work personally interesting because I enjoy different types of music and his take on music is unique. It does not sound very appealing to the ears but just the thought of how he is doing that makes it awesome. He is performing a song with his "computer" that took four band members to do. Granted it doesn't sound as good. He felt art was a performative practice therefore he created his art so that it could be shared in this way. His work seems to prove that art can be performed and undestood at the same time.
