Ai Weiwei: Olympic Bird's Nest & Beyond

[SelamatArtist]

Obviously Ai was evasive and beating round the bush simply because he has no idea of how the bird nest came about. He claimed credit for something that is not truly his idea. The Chinese Govt adopted it because it presented the greatest opportunity for China to learn from the West how to calculate complicated engineering structure. In fact the team of engineers improvised aircraft frame construction calculation for this project.

Ai Wei Wei is a cuckoo stealing other's nest (credit).

[paul150365]

from hero to zero Ai Weiwei celebrated here imprisioned by his own state for speaking unpopular views , and only released due to political pressure because of a state visit to th UK by the chinese premier.funny old world

[khi590]

what a joy he gives to his and all people with these great extraordinary buildings and pieces of art - a symbol for the great creative power of China throughout all centuries - the problem between individual freedom and society should not stop this great artist - please let him go on being creative.......thank you

[cgseggal]

@khi590 You call this creative? /watch?v=enhf81_sI1M

[05giacomo]

CHINESE PEOPLE.do you know why the west dislikes you (fuck them by the way;)) ? its because you dont collaborate with western christian fundamentalist maniacs!!...catholic child raping church for example which intended power and influence as much as possible since the beginning is fortunatly UNDER CONTROL in china..catholic church (antisemitism !!) was also STRONGLY involved into FASCISM..you know japanese war crimes ect ect...conculsio: STAND STRONG CHINA !!!..greetings from austria !!

[yerk3]

@05giacomo This video has absolutely nothing to do with religious fundamentalists.

[TheSnoozeFox]

RIP AI WEIWEI

[yerk3]

@TheSnoozeFox Wait, he's dead?

[TheSnoozeFox]

@yerk3 yeah under detention in china but their trying to play it down as an "uncomfirmed accident" whatever that means

[AlexHWalker]

1:34 The sculpture is giving people 'The finger'. probably not offensive in china though!

"The birds nest's 'simplicity'" it is arguably the most complicated structure in the world! If you look at london's stadium it is a bowl with a roof over the seats!

[joshua81em]

The girl is pretty hot

[ethelbertflak]

It's a pity Chinese authorities harassed him for his ideas. They should be free speech

[wwwtotalitaerde]

@ethelbertflak Ai Wei Wei is misused by the German State to cause trouble inside China. He may have made a lot of money in Germany and certainly is surrounded by the highest class snitchers to make him feel comfortable.

My brother had been tortured and was assassinated by the German BND

[yerk3]

@wwwtotalitaerde He isn't being "used" by anyone. Why can't anyone criticize the Chinese government without being accused of being part of some foreign conspiracy? Resorting to paranoid conspiracy theories is usually a sign of desperation, that someone has lost the argument, and the only thing they have left is to accuse the other guy of being in league with "them."

[wwwtotalitaerde]

@yerk3 Germany murders to silence complaints:

U.Barschel,J.Möllemann,Heiner Gehring(author),M.Pflock(polit­ical activist),Tron(internet activist),Karl Koch(political/internet activist),Bernd Seiffert(human rights activist),Kirsten Heisig(author/judge),Fritz Bauer(persecutor Frankfurt Auschwitz processes).My brother Markus Bott was tortured 5.5 years by the German BND before being murdered. And Ai Weiwei is misused by the German Nazi state to distract from German atrocities by blaming the Chinese

[yerk3]

@wwwtotalitaerde You have offered no evidence that he is a German operative. Whatever the German government has done is irrelevant to this issue, this is about China, not Germany. Probably the only reason he goes to Germany is because his own government wants to make him disappear.

[wwwtotalitaerde]

@yerk3 Where did I say that Ai Weiwei is a"German operative"? My statement was:

"Ai Weiwei is misused by the German nazi state to distract from German atrocities by blaming the Chinese"

And I gave a number of German dissidents having been murdered by the German State, one of them my brother Markus Bott. For an example of torture by the German state see my english film about the infamous Anneliese Michel "exorcism" case.She was neither a mental case not possessed by the devil, but tortured.

[yerk3]

@wwwtotalitaerde You still haven't given any evidence that Ai Weiwei is "being misused" by the German government, whether that means that he's an operative or whatever else you might mean by it.

[wwwtotalitaerde]

@yerk3 I didnt claim him being a German snitcher.There is one incident making me believe that hes not.Misusing someone means manipulating him,feeding him certain (false) information,even with the aim to let him run into trouble.An interesting incident was Ai Weiweis operation a few years ago in Munich.He was bleeding in his head.It was claimed that having been beaten 4weeks before by the chinese police was the reason.After 4weeks you dont start bleeding.More likely he was injured by his"friends"

[yerk3]

@wwwtotalitaerde The head wound didn't "start bleeding" after 4 weeks, that was just the time that Ai Weiwei decided to seek medical help because the pain hadn't gone away and was intensifying. The blood had been slowly accumulating in the skull since the beating. The pictures of him with the blood coming out of the tube in his head were taken after the operation to drain the accumulated fluid and reduce the pressure on his brain.

[wwwtotalitaerde]

@yerk3 Do you really believe that someone can have a bleeding in the brain for weeks?Either its only a minor bleeding and stops within a short time,like a few hours.Or,after this relatively short time,the bleeding will cause progressive neurologic symptoms

In the case of Ai Weiwei there can be no doubt that his German"friends"after 4 weeks caused additional damage to enable them,to"help"Ai Weiwei and show him how"free"Germany is

See the books I uploaded on Wuala,link in description of my films.

[yerk3]

@wwwtotalitaerde The skull is not flexible, when there's swelling in there, there's no way for the pressure to be released. Yes, someone can have cranial bleeding for weeks, providing that the hemorage is of the right size. Do you know anything about head wounds? If not, don't go questioning what the doctors have said because it conflicts with your fuzzy idea of how the human anatomy should work. This is what the medical reports say.

[wwwtotalitaerde]

@yerk3 In healthy persons minor bleedings are stopped by the body itself by clogging the ruptured tissue.If there was a bleeding large enough not to be stopped by this way,the victim will have problems within hours. If the bleeding is stopped after some time but has already caused some overpressure in the scull,the normal regulation of the spinal and brain fluid will reestablish a normal pressure within a relatively short time.The clogged blood will rest stationary without causing later problems

[yerk3]

@wwwtotalitaerde So, I take it you're a doctor? Because if you're not, you still don't know what you're talking about. I'm not a doctor either, but at least I know enough to defer to those whose jobs it is to actually know how the human body works, what happens when you have bleeding inside the skull, etc. I'm going by the medical records, not your conspiracy theories and half-baked wild guesses about how the human body is supposed to work.

[wwwtotalitaerde]

@yerk3 I am only not a Jerk believing in all the conspiracy and rant being spread by the German BND to distract from their own atrocities by blaming others. In Germany this technique is known by the word: Halted den Dieb, Hold the thief.

This refers to the guy stealing someones purse and then pointing into a random direction and shouting hold the thief. And then using the resulting confusion to calmly walk away into another direction.

[yerk3]

@wwwtotalitaerde Once again, this has nothing to do with anything happening in Germany. There's all kinds of fucked up shit going on all over the world, but this video is about Ai Weiwei, a Chinese artist being imprisoned by the Chinese government. In no way is Germany involved. Once again, go to a video about Germany, ANY video about Germany, and deliver your rants there. You are in the wrong place.

[ngso0009]

@wwwtotalitaerde you have a very fascinating story, or I shall say imagination. Show us the evident, if not you are just a brat that spread the idiotic conspiracy theories in the purpose of smearing a brave man like Ai Wei Wei. Liu Xiao Bo is the tool of CIA and now Ai Wei Wei is the tool of German Naxi state... Come on, give us something new

[wwwtotalitaerde]

@ngso0009 Again I have to repost my statement:

"Ai Weiwei is misused by the German nazi state to distract from German atrocities by blaming the Chinese"

He was largely supported by Germany, like Wikileaks Assange btw. And Germany never ever wastes only one cent if there is no benefit.

The payoff for Germany is to trade in Ai Weiwei, who is seen as a troublemaker by chinese authorities, to compensate for China remaining silent about the many open murders by the German BND, the ex GESTAPO.

[ngso0009]

@wwwtotalitaerde Your statements are not and cannot be supported by evidences. With all due respect, I do not believe you. And I wonder how an individual with basic logical thinking will ever believe such conspiracy, sorry, your statement is not even close to conspiracy, BS is more suitable.

[wwwtotalitaerde]

@ngso0009 Ive got the impression that many people outside China are lucky to be able to blame China. I personally know people who made a lot of money trading with China, and still look down on the Chinese people. I am ashamed to be German. On one of the Frankfurt book fairs I got a propaganda newspaper agains China. One article said: One has to support the "Nestbeschmutzer", the Netsmutcher. Guess who this German Professor of Chinese culture had in his mind...

[ChenStyleJohn]

What an insightful cat!

"Form is a part of function, and vice versa."

[danpt2000]

Wow the picture of the young Ai Wei Wei so different from his present.

[DAUCUSCAROTATHEMOVIE]

Ai Weiwei design is very elegant

[mihofm2]

Hallo Ai .....auf Deutsch :

Ich danke Dir für die schönen Tage in Kassel !

Und für die Freundschaften die durch das Projekt enstanden sind.

Das war mit einz Deiner besten Ideen.

Die Freundschaften die durch zwei Kulturen enstanden sind können viele mit Dankbarkeit annehmen.

Es grüsst Dich ganz lieb aus Kassel Michael.

Ich hoffe das ich Deine Ausstellung in Beijing sehen werde.

dont like the host......!!! pls change her

[fabfashionista13]

awesome...exquisite design love that building...

[66QQ66]

ai weiwei is a crack of shit, no doubt

[holly126hock]

yep! the old bastard Ai WoWo is a loser! and the host called herself as "Mia" is an ugly bitch

[onegoodman66]

no one likes Ai weiwei...he is kinda a looser in China.

[WilliamJazzCat]

Why was a loser hired to create the most visible structure in China during the Olympics?

[cgseggal]

@WilliamJazzCat Actually he had very little if anyhting at all to do with creating the building. It was designed by Swiss architects. They invited him towards the end of the design process to ask his opinion about THEIR design. It's disgusting the way he takes all the credit. Do some research.

[benoitcsirois]

MieLi; How did you know Ai WeiWei? He said "Long time no see"

[lanhua001]

不喜欢艾未未

[ayotechnology5050]

nice

[hmbrgrhlpr]

is anybody reminded of lil bow wow?

[yunrui1989]

wow he really rocks. I

[yoka955]

he has quite the personality.

[joezhangjiyao]

he acted like pussy at the begining,lol

[fomiz]

lol

[phk189]

you call ai weiwei a key designer of birdnet? He is a promotor, yes, key designer? No

[holomage]

I can't help but feel the design of the stadium has metaphysical and esoteric undertones.

[PaulBrownandtheKD]

Cool video. Rock On! Paul

[Creatief2]

Here in holland. there is a collection Of Ai weiwei. I went there with my school. I dind/t realy pay mutch attantion to his work.

If i had nown that he helpd make the bied nest. I would have payed mutch more attention.

[JusesChrost]

Ai is kinda controversial actually, and if you read my comment you would know something he said about himself is not necessarily the truth. He is NOT one of the designers in the team, in stead he is hired by the company as one of the Artistic Consultants. If you are familiar with how archi-project runs, you would know, ACs are pretty much there to endorse the design but not really doing anything for the project. So it is kinda weird and annoying that he claims he designed it.

[mupoman]

dolmaa

[heresteven]

How about a video of chinese and their cars.

[JusesChrost]

Ai Weiwei is not part of the design team of the bird's net, he is a member of a larger team of art consultants, who, commonly in many projects, get paid for doing lil' more than nothing.

[100flyingfish]

cool guy

[a01b08]

Taiwan is more lovely and sexy!

China not bad too~

[gsxgsx111]

Taiwan is a part of China.

It is a common sense.

[yunrui1989]

haha you rock.

[ngso0009]

@gsxgsx111 The reason why this post is the top comment is because China has a fraction from 1.3 billion people that really obsessive with this issue.

[ionavalanche]

she has a lot of rice in the that bum.

[Flaminglink]

China sucks its filled with human/animal cruelty, pollution and stupidity.

[daveydaquiri]

hmm. sounds more like america to me.

[TheAntagonist]

Frankly, every country is filled with cruelty, and stupidity. But I think China is FAR from the top of that list.

I will agree with you on pollution though.

[ThripleDots]

trust me america is 20 times of that

[wilsxf314]

All country has at least some degree of that like Canada. Just type in "baby seal beatings" and you'll see most of them are from Canada. For the pollution, Beijing has tried many things they could such as artificial rain and all that, any other highly polluted western city deals with pollution that way? And I don't know where you get the fact of stupidity from.

[sklanger]

Pollution, what, like the London smog only a few decades ago. Like in the US before the Clean Air Act in ths 70s? All industrializing countries have pollution problems. Stop using it as an excuse to fuel your prejudices.

[ngso0009]

@sklanger The wrong doing of present day is made righteous because of the wrong doing of the past? I wonder how people learn from the history. The major victims of China pollution are China people, and their new born babies. Let's abandon all the so called secret propaganda from the west, let's just focus on the well being of the China people, do you insist that pollution is not an urgent issue in China?

[sklanger]

@ngso0009 Who said pollution was "right"? Who said it was not an urgent issue? The fact remains that industrializing countries tend to have problems with pollution; it's not something that is peculiar to China. The point is to illustrate that the West itself has gone through the same process, and that hyperbolic criticism of developing countries by the West on the same score is based on a false sense of superiority.

[ngso0009]

@sklanger Yes, developing countries suffer from pollution. That's why funds have established to help the developing countries in climate change. Yes, the west has gone through the process. However, we really need to progress with times instead of dwelling in the industrial revolution which is decades ago. Face the challenges to make our living and environment more sustainable. The accusation like hyperbolic criticism or false sense of superiority is certainly not helping

[sklanger]

@ngso0009 The industrial revolution happened decades ago in industrialized countries, not in developing countries like China, which had a mostly agrarian economy until recently. It is industrializing now, not "decades ago." Progress is a corollary of industrial and economic development--the same pollution-generating process you refuse to dwell upon. Also, my reply was in response to a hyperbolic comment. Maybe you should read it in context before wasting words on another point-missing diatribe.

[ngso0009]

@sklanger The industrial revolution I mentioned is the period of 18th to 19th century, which is exactly what you pointed to. Anyway, I understand the expense of development. Nonetheless, there is a middle ground between two extreme scenarios, but now China is at the edge of an extreme end, which is achieving rapid development in the expense of sustainable living and environment.

[sklanger]

@ngso0009 Except it's not what I pointed to: I mentioned smog in the London of the 1950s, and pollution in the United States prior to the passing of the Clean Air Act in the 1970s. I talked about industrialization and a generic "industrial revolution," not the Industrial Revolution with a capital I and R in which China did not partake. Since China is only now industrializing, your talk of "dwelling" on it as if it were a distant event in China's past is typically a point-missing waste of words.

[yerk3]

@sklanger Point missing is you comparing events which are still taking place to ones which ended decades ago as if they were equivalent.

[sklanger]

@yerk3 Brain missing is you pretending that the industrialization process in different countries aren't comparable events.

[yerk3]

@sklanger They're only comparable if you ignore the key distinction that one is still going on, and the other has been resolved.

[sklanger]

@yerk3 Except the distinction isn't key at all, it's immaterial to the comparison I was making.

[yerk3]

@sklanger No, it's not, it's actually fairly pivotal. You're basically saying that in order to have the privilege of criticizing anyone on their current environmental practices, having cleaned up our own acts and learned what we've learned isn't enough, we have to invent a time machine and go back and alter our history in order to have never, ever been wrong about anything. There is a massive difference between having once done something, and still actively doing it.

[sklanger]

@yerk3 Except that wasn't what I said, that's just something you made up. Instead, what I said was: "the West itself has gone through the same process . . . hyperbolic criticism of developing countries by the West on the same score is based on a false sense of superiority." It applies to a specific piece of hyperbolic criticism I was responding to upthread -- not all criticism. Your cretinous inability to read disqualifies you from further comment.

[ngso0009]

@sklanger @yerk3 When a child did something wrong and get caught with the pants down, their reaction is always 'someone did it'. The problem is that someone had paid the price for his wrong doing. Is China ready to pay the price of polluting their motherland and suffocating their citizen while the green technology and health awareness are much mature nowadays? The greedy rich bastards never give a damn to the poor citizen, that's the problem

[sklanger]

@ngso0009 You'll find that most countries get better at managing pollution at more advanced stages of industrial development, an experience replicated across virtually all high-income OECD countries. It appears to me that you're the child blaming the "greedy rich bastards"?

[ngso0009]

@sklanger A country with largest GDP growth and 2nd largest economy of the world has nothing short in money and technology. You can point out that the GDP per capital is still low in China but that is exactly what I wanted to imply. The poor contributes to the China economy via cheap labor and yet they are the group who suffers from pollution. So, does 'greedy rich bastards' makes sense now?

[sklanger]

@ngso0009 No it does not. Because your class envy won't solve the problem. It's the greedy rich bastards, the entrepreneurial class, and the middle class who eventually do. The implication that the rich contribute less than the poor to the material development of China, and to its burgeoning middle class (who before were uniformly poor in an agrarian economy) is an asinine one. Even Deng saw through the Marxist claptrap in the end and realized that pollution beats famine any day.

[ngso0009]

@sklanger The big greedy rich bastards are not from middle class. You do know China economics heavily dependent on cheap capital and labor from traditional low-end manufacturing right? China refuse to set binding targets for greenhouse gas emission and regulate toxic by products of industrialization says it loud n clear, that is, GDP number is way above the health of nation, particularly those that are poor n with no public attention.

[sklanger]

@ngso0009 So? The greedy rich bastards contribute to expanding the middle class, many of whom come from the ranks of the previously poor. Material development and the clout of an enlarged middle class will be what eventually solves the problem of industrial pollution, not class envy. The U.S. sets no binding emissions targets either, nor does India. You can't have both. Either you limit emissions by hampering growth (and its wealth-generated solutions to pollution) or you pursue the latter.

[yerk3]

@sklanger The rich expanding the middle class? Are you insane? The rich and their enablers in the political world are trying to strangle the middle class to death, and to an extent, it's working. It's giving the rich everything they want that got us into this mess.

[sklanger]

@yerk3 Without an entrepreneurial class and (eventually) the rich applying their capital and ingenuity providing goods and services that people want, China would not have pulled hundreds of millions of people out of poverty in the last two decades alone. And without a market of middle class consumers to buy their goods and services, the rich would be less rich, not more. So yes, the rich would like an expanding middle class, not a nation of peasants. I sense you have no knowledge of economics.

[yerk3]

@sklanger Ah, the "entrepreneurial" class, that mainstay of laziez-faire capitalist mythology. Boot straps, etc. You can philosophize about the good intentions of the rich all you want, but the truth out here in the real world, is that the rich are destroying the middle class. The middle class and your beloved "entrepreneurs" represent competition to the rich, and the rich do not want competition, they want serfs.

[sklanger]

@yerk3 Oh yes, a conspiracy theorist; that mainstay of fetid internet magical thinking. Because China hasn't actually lifted millions upon millions out of famine and grinding agrarian poverty against the wishes of the conspiratorial rich, who are uniformly evil! Because if the facts don't match your conspiracy theory, so much the worse for the facts. After all, a nation of peasants can surely afford iPads, Priuses, and pollution-mitigating technology--a ready market for the entrepreneurial rich!

[yerk3]

@sklanger This is not a conspiracy theory, this is a statement of observable fact. It's not even a conspiracy, it's more like a tendency among the wealthy to feel entitled to more wealth, to mistake their good fortune for moral rectitude. It's actually a common human flaw. People get used to luxury, and when they're asked to give some of it up, they lash out. They mistake being used to it for deserving it. It shows a lack of maturity: the rich are spoiled.

[sklanger]

@yerk3 Except the facts refute you: China has a vast and rapidly expanding middle class drawn from the ranks of the previously poor, who are direct beneficiaries of burgeoning growth driven by the entrepreneurial rich. No theory of malign hereditary wealth can account for this transformation of the Chinese agrarian underclass to an urban middle class -- and yours doesn't. Saying that the rich are "evil" and intent on enserfing the middle class is a conspiracy theory, not an observation of fact.

[yerk3]

@sklanger China has an ascendant class of "new rich" who live on the backs of the vast majority of poor. This is just more social stratification.

[sklanger]

@ngso0009 Also, I'm tired of your sloganeering approach to public policy. Help the poor! Blame the rich! Pollution is bad! Rich people are evil! Our planet is dying! seems to be the sum total of your public policy prescriptions. Go bore someone else.

[ngso0009]

@sklanger If those that you claimed to be 'slogans' do not bother you, then what is your motivation of your arguments? I admit you had basically covered all my objectives except those that related to social hierarchy.

[yerk3]

@sklanger These aren't slogans, but plain statements of fact. The poor DO need help, pollution IS bad, the rich ARE evil, and if we don't do something soon, we or our direct descendants will all die horribly.

[sklanger]

@yerk3 Those are slogans masquerading as policy prescriptions. Brighter minds than yours have explored the economics of a binding emissions regime for developing countries; more astute historians than you have studied the history of pollution management in industrializing countries. The experience replicated across OECD countries is: greater development, greater wealth, less pollution. Only sloganeering simpletons think that stating the obvious (pollution is bad) is a policy solution.

I like the way Mr. Ai Weiwei explained his thoughts about Form or Function and how they are both as one of the same.

The young woman and old man try to be behave in the western style. I hate it.

i agree see above ^^

[zhangmouren]

Yeah, and the young woman gave me the impression that she cares about nothing at all, as if she were extremely pround of being in the western style.

Naive, sometimes too simple. hehe.

i am watching the olympics at this website, w ww.tv4pc. tv

[vanlori]

Nice Interview. It's interesting to hear what the architect's thoughts were about how he feels about his profession. Like most Chinese, he is appropriately humble, which is a sign of politeness. Something most westerners don't understand. But, what shows through is his sense of humor. He is very funny and likable. The interviewer asked some very nice questions, which drew out the personality of this man. Looks like they knew each other, thus his responses were very relaxed and conversational.

[heresteven]

interesting archietect.

[blabiddyblaness]

quite so

[jerrylee76]

notice how when Mia extends the hug the man speaks English but the rest of the interview is in his native tongue. this tells me the hug is a western custom not an eastern one

[cemetery1]

Pretty ugly.

[Balflear255]

to be ugly is way better than to be stupid like you

[icirobin]

The greatest quality of SexyybeijingTv and related channels is to have chinese people really say what's on their mind. I think this is valid even though the content isn't always torough. Thoroughness isn't always the point.

Thanks for interviewing!

I have to say, this video is only WORTH watching (3 stars) because, I think the interview is not very interesting and that man can get a bit carried away - thats just what I personally think.

However when he talks about the birds nest it was quite interesting. Dont bother to watch the rest.
