Santiago Sierra; a controversial photographer and performance artist, known for pieces like taking a starving dog off the streets and tying him up on display in a gallery, and leaving him to starve in plain sight.
One of his other pieces involved ultrasounds - and more importantly, the behavior of people who were subjected to them. Youngsters, you've known this before; the shrill and oh so annoying sound that televisions, computer screens and dog whistles make, the sound that drives us mad when mom is watching t.v. after our bedtime... They think that because they can't hear it, it doesn't exist, but they're wrong!

Which brings forth an interesting point: Adults can't hear it, see it? Why should that mean that it doesn't exist? Should you not believe your children? Adults have bad hearing? They have no imagination, either.
