This image posted on Ai Wei Wei's "open community" Facebook page had gotten me pretty fascinated with the notion behind the imagery. And while I am not going to attempt to philosophize the not-so-nuanced depiction of traditional chinese craft versus the modern decadence/excess of crushed drink cans (Boingboing mentions it to be the art of Lei Xue) but am loving the crossovermashupwhatevertermstopigeonholethiswork, and provides a pop cultural slant to the oft-heavy-handed and quitefranklymissused term "ART".
