Tate Modern - Sunflower Seeds - Ai Weiwei

Very quick edit to test out my new Sony NEX5 camera's video taking capabilities.
Went to check out the Sunflower Seeds by Ai Weiwei at the Tate Modern.

They aren't real sunflower seeds - they are hand-crafted porcelain...all 100 million or so!

@Hayashigame "You can please some of the people some of the time,..."

@jeremychuable I don't think it fits. Do you?

[jeremychuable]

@Hayashigame Actually, I remember now - YouTube didn't allow me to use the original music I picked (for Copyright reasons, presumably). So I picked one it allowed me to...

@AmericaRuinsYou Aside from a discussion about 'what is art', you realise they aren't real sunflower seeds and consist of about 100 Million hand-crafted porcelain art pieces, right?

Honestly, seeing some of the comments here, some people need to take a proverbial chill pill. Perhaps naively, I went to test my camera out and the Tate Modern was free and had stuff going on...and perhaps naively, I hope that someday you'll invest all that energy and conviction you have into making the world a better place instead of spreading hate online.

@jeremychuable i think the song was fitting too, and you have a good camera

[tobiosnmakky]

@guimine i think it would have been good if people could just sign a health waver and walk on if they wished rather than just no allowance to.
