798 Art District: Beijing, China

Haha this is one of my favorites. The power of text and poetry even in another country is undeniable. The reactions/lack of reactions to it are great. I'm glad there's a place in China such as 798 where this is so excepted. The chasing of "the art" is fantastic.

Awesome. The tub of water being a palate for the projection opens the door to some interesting techniques. I would love to use something like this to project in the future. Maybe a beach scene? There could be little props for fishing, swimming, surfing, diving, etc. and a mechanism (or just continuous messing with) the water so it appears to flow. There could even be colors for the projector above the scene to show the sky and the passing of time.

The specialized backpack is an important feature for this artwork, not only because it is versatile and has the necessary components for video projection, but also because it interests the crowd, and hence getting them 'involved' in the artwork to a certain degree. I think that one of the more important aspects to outings is getting the people involved, because once the are, the become attached to what you are trying to present.
