The Guitar Tribute Tornado is the true-to-life definition of "art that rocks." This gigantic installation in Seattle's 'Experience Music Project' is made up of tons of guitars all attached to one another in a vortex of music and melodies.
The Guitar Tribute Tornado was created by German artist Trimpin and is surprisingly playable. Robot motors on some of the guitars play the same chords in unison to create one giant guitar solo. Check out the installation in the gallery above and make sure to see it live if you happen to be in Seattle.
