I think the sunflower seeds represent happiness&leisure for Ai and many traditional Chinese.This notion is brought to the visitors while they are having fun on a"beach of sunflower seeds".Again China,as the current biggest manufacturer,has contributed to the world's abundance&happiness.The collective power of Chinese workers is astonishing.I think the choice of porcelain is a tribute to the long tradition of Chinese craftsmanship.It's a very profound and humanitarian project.
@MiXiaoPa Get an education kid. While you might be to frightened to confront injustice, he is not. He is doing both, going against the government AND helping the people of Sichuan.
I am a chinese,I know the people think ,they want to hold their rights,but en real life is a diferente.what can we do? Just wait ,wait the memento come here,wait the one come.but a situation we all know
It's a shame we don't have a liberal environment for artists like AWW to express themselves freely, as a Chinese I literally give up watching Chinese TVs or newspapers or any other medias cos simply there is nothing good to watch. Censorship has destroyed the cultural environment, books, movies, newspapers, everything is under control of CCP, we do see some progress sometimes, but it always tends to step back again or even become worse.
It seems that Ai Weiwei is ONLY Chinese to be interviewed in the video, all others are western faces. Does that mean that Ai Weiwei is representing China? At least, he is NOT representing me. Ai weiwei loves to show, more than love the country.
Culture evolution, clear, not secrete, has been officially acknowledged as a mistake by China, which has caused China tremendous of lost, not only economy, also culture, history and etc.
He is a lucky man; in NORWAY, that gave him Nobel Prize, this would never happen.
Here is one example; Human Rights Detective Eddy Jacobsen (w w w eddy nu) hadn't written his declaration for five years because of state torture against him; then it was arranged to re-write those afterwards, that took several days to do at the TAX OFFICE - then; The TAX OFFICER LEADER SAID: No, he has never been here to do this, so we must put extra TAX CHARGE ON HIM!!
Interesting--definitely want to know more about this!
--however I'm deaf and I want to turn the english subtitles on instead of having the english transcribed. How can I put the english subtitles on instead Chinese simplified Han? :/
i believe that China is on the way to the liberty of speech. although i dont trust CP either. Indeed,there are sorts of blocks on the way, but what we should do is that keep doing and never loss our confidence. It will be tough to pursuit the freedom in such an isolated country.
im curious that where his considerable money that support his artistic works come from,from his father aiqing?china's government should have blocked his account
i really dont understand why there are negative comments about this ! this is inspirational and hope giving ! this is about a men standing up for human rights and hes not saying fuck u china hes saing change is needed and hes not an artist because hes revolutionary he's revolutionary because hes an artist and hes an artist because he wants to and he has talent to do so, who are you to take away that right?
The sunflower comment stemmed also from the part where he walks up to the little girl and hassles her for not using enough paint.. do it your self YOU'RE THE ARTIST!

I´m from Mexico and I saw this video. Mexican brains are running to US or Eurupe because the government doesn´t help them, to the contrary, they shut them up and stop them. Censure and politics are the same filth in many parts of the world.
the 21century chinese are a sad group of human with an incredibly short sight and a low to no understanding of the world, have no interest in culture, environment, etc, just money. the next super power? undrinkable water, unbreathable air, cutureless society filled with skinny people with fake english names, empty expensive penthouse buildings, superpower? yeah, maybe
@jamenjoe Maybe you have been to China or even lived there for a while, but you don't seem to understand this country very well and have no respect for Chinese people. If the only Chinese you know are the ones "with an incredibly short sight and a low to no understanding of the world, have no interest in culture, environment, etc, just money", thats your problem, not China's.
@kwosin i'm a proud chinese grew up in beijing, oops. i believe i have thright to "insult" myself and my culture. of course there are many good one ones out there, like me 4 example( lightly haha ),but i am speaking of general, and they are often the one who are making the decisions, it's why china have some of the dumbest policies on earth. face the fuckin' fact, don't hide behind your low fuckin' self esteem.
@jamenjoe Every country has its problems, China is the biggest country by population, and it is the fastest developing one. These alone means a lot of problems. But most Chinese people are optimistic about their future. And that says a lot. Me and most Chinese friends I know don't care about if China will become a superpower, we just want a better live in the future, like most human being on this planet.
@kwosin I dont give a flying fk about who becomes superpower either, better 4 all if there's none. I just said because so many people is speaking of it. and being optimistic is okay, but it's not a proof, future is not going to be better coz you believe it will be better, future depends on what you do now.
@kwosin for the circumstance right now in China,you may assume that chinese people just need a better life rather the liberty of speech and other freedom in life. But the defintion of so-called "better life" should include all kinds of human rights,what the chinese government prohibited strictly!
@MichaelKrary You can't put a price on it.. sure, my point is, an artist wouldn't act like the 'workshop' is his sweatshop by saying the paint is too thin.. In my opinion as much as hit ideas are revolutionary his point doesn't seem as legit. To me for some reason this whole thing seems manufactured. The man at some points says a little too much that he should. Take Banksy for example his work don't need explanation, putting up a stencil speaks for its self... con't in later post.
@MichaelKrary making cameras out of marble and saying what was said in the video made him sound like Mr.Brainwash. He didn't make them he had them done, the idea its self..not worth much, the product its self..maybe worth something only for the material and detail. I wouldn't buy it, but if someone that has money and buys art, it might seem like a legit investment. Overall great idea poor execution, if he him self put effort in it on his own, It might be and should be appreciated alot more..
Now, I see that you watched many of his video and I did. But you still missed the point.
The Marble Camera is not so much as an great art, but a mockery of the Chinese Communist Government. A symbol of being watched by the "Big Brothers" every step you take. An unwanted intrusion into a person's daily life.
He brings cameramen everywhere he goes, as a protection against being constantly beaten up by the China Police.
You have to step back a little and look at the big picture in life, to see the bigger point.
Sure there are a lot of great artist in the world. But how many of them helped out their fellow country men by fighting for their freedom?
Mr Ai Weiwei is held captive in an unknow location, suffering abuse you have no idea or experience. Away from his loved one, whom don't know if he will live or die any day. Feared that his organ might be harvest.
@MichaelKrary I'm terribly sorry for his current situation and he truly might have some experience in fighting for his people. But what I just watched seemed staged and unnatural espicially the dialog with no video of police breaking into his room, which led me to question this figure and see him as a political tool for china to show that it has artists and people that aren't robots.
what Aiweiwei is sayin' is just the chinese history, which is the fact!!!whats wrong with you people(chinese from china i mean)?how come most of you hate him so much?in this program, british hasnt got much opinion on China(they just talk about what they saw), why you guys seem against western countries so much?why?
@DreamichyRoyalee24 they might not be the real chinese people opinon.you have to think of the ccp cyber police.might be the communist people act.act like the chinese people supporting the communist but actually it is their own cyberpolice acting...! remember, i can apply alot of account in youtube under different name and comment the videos.i might not be the real people doing it.just act for my communist party.just example...
it's funny to see the crusadic opium britain know what's the human right. the crusadic british are just some good singer of politic opera.but chinese have no interest to any such stupid politic opera with a title of human right. I believe Aiweiwei is a just a politic son of bitch of crusadic western peril.
China's Government is terrorizing its own people. In Lybia it is a dictator, in China a corrupt oligarchy. No essential difference. Because of the artist Ai Weiwei dissidents have a voice for a free and in future democratic China. FREE AI WEIWEI.
@karinagnesgertrud well, you frenchs are doing a pretty job in Libya now, killing millions of Libyan ppl and robbing their oil. you guys will truly be blessed by your god!
I dont think people should bother to discuss whether his art works are LEADING or not. U can not tell which kind of art is leading. We all have different aesthetics. But we cannot deny that he has a unique way to artistic creations considering the chinese cultural constrainted and nervous atmosphere. The point is how the chinese gov. deals with his efforts to fight for the justice by defying the authorities. Under no circunstainces The chinese gov. can deprive his civic rights and jail disident

this is so biased. Men of the west, you can keep watching this and call it a opinion balanced documentary. I say this is not, and you don't have to agree with me, but just letting you know, while you are saying that the chinese people are being brainwashed and manipulated, it's the same thing in western countries.
o, yeah, i am talking shit about your mom only, not the other people's. but bare in mind, it was u swear to me in the first place. "sb" has a meaning of "crazy cunt", dun assume people know nth about chinese!i m not english, i am also chinese!
@DreamichyRoyalee24 well you know, it is YOU who make chinese look bad. didn't ur fucking "western culture" give you some manners? talking shit about ppl's mom downgrades yourself, don't you feel shame about urself? “你的假設只是來自你的想像...沒有證據就罵人..” 好像你就有根据一样。你根据什么得出我没出过国这一结论的？说你傻逼自己还不好好想想。真不知道谁在给中国人丢脸。 傻逼
what i did is just mirroring what u have done to me, also i used the word sb to describe ur mom as she born u with her genes, i can tell u have the same attitude as ur mom, what a great dna transference!
western culture teach me that u ass-hole better fuck yourself off, otherwise, YOU would make more people think china is a mental hospital where non-sense people like u settle in.

@kwosin i'm a proud chinese grew up in beijing, oops. i believe i have thright to "insult" myself and my culture. of course there are many good one ones out there, like me 4 example( lightly haha ),but i am speaking of general, and they are often the one who are making the decisions, it's why china have some of the dumbest policies on earth. face the fuckin' fact, don't hide behind your low fuckin' self esteem.

@jamenjoe Every country has its problems, China is the biggest country by population, and it is the fastest developing one. These alone means a lot of problems. But most Chinese people are optimistic about their future. And that says a lot. Me and most Chinese friends I know don't care about if China will become a superpower, we just want a better live in the future, like most human being on this planet.

@kwosin I dont give a flying fk about who becomes superpower either, better 4 all if there's none. I just said because so many people is speaking of it. and being optimistic is okay, but it's not a proof, future is not going to be better coz you believe it will be better, future depends on what you do now.

@kwosin for the circumstance right now in China,you may assume that chinese people just need a better life rather the liberty of speech and other freedom in life. But the defintion of so-called "better life" should include all kinds of human rights,what the chinese government prohibited strictly!

Fake and cheap or not, they are not for sale. You can't put a price on it. You don't have a point.

@MichaelKrary You can't put a price on it.. sure, my point is, an artist wouldn't act like the 'workshop' is his sweatshop by saying the paint is too thin.. In my opinion as much as hit ideas are revolutionary his point doesn't seem as legit. To me for some reason this whole thing seems manufactured. The man at some points says a little too much that he should. Take Banksy for example his work don't need explanation, putting up a stencil speaks for its self... con't in later post.

@MichaelKrary making cameras out of marble and saying what was said in the video made him sound like Mr.Brainwash. He didn't make them he had them done, the idea its self..not worth much, the product its self..maybe worth something only for the material and detail. I wouldn't buy it, but if someone that has money and buys art, it might seem like a legit investment. Overall great idea poor execution, if he him self put effort in it on his own, It might be and should be appreciated alot more..

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
Now, I see that you watched many of his video and I did. But you still missed the point.
The Marble Camera is not so much as an great art, but a mockery of the Chinese Communist Government. A symbol of being watched by the "Big Brothers" every step you take. An unwanted intrusion into a person's daily life.
He brings cameramen everywhere he goes, as a protection against being constantly beaten up by the China Police.

You can compare him to the mystic "Tank Man" during the Tienanmen Square" incident.
I shed tears for the Tank Man.
Now my heart is aching for Mr. Ai Weiwei. And I only heard of him last week. He is a great person in my book.
To me, I place him to my Hero firstly, A Humanitarian second, and a great artist last.
Please come home safely. You still have much work to do.

You sir, are very closed minded.
You have to step back a little and look at the big picture in life, to see the bigger point.
Sure there are a lot of great artist in the world. But how many of them helped out their fellow country men by fighting for their freedom?
Mr Ai Weiwei is held captive in an unknow location, suffering abuse you have no idea or experience. Away from his loved one, whom don't know if he will live or die any day. Feared that his organ might be harvest.
MichaelKrary 9 months ago
@MichaelKrary I'm terribly sorry for his current situation and he truly might have some experience in fighting for his people. But what I just watched seemed staged and unnatural espicially the dialog with no video of police breaking into his room, which led me to question this figure and see him as a political tool for china to show that it has artists and people that aren't robots.

He got released recently from prison.
Do you still thinks he was a "political tool for china".
He is doing it on his own free will. For freedom and justice.

it's funny to see the crusadic opium britain know what's the human right. the crusadic british are just some good singer of politic opera.but chinese have no interest to any such stupid politic opera with a title of human right. I believe Aiweiwei is a just a politic son of bitch of crusadic western peril.

I dont think people should bother to discuss whether his art works are LEADING or not. U can not tell which kind of art is leading. We all have different aesthetics. But we cannot deny that he has a unique way to artistic creations considering the chinese cultural constrainted and nervous atmosphere. The point is how the chinese gov. deals with his efforts to fight for the justice by defying the authorities. Under no circunstainces The chinese gov. can deprive his civic rights and jail disident
