My understanding of Chinese history is limited. So far, I have only scratched its surface; I wish I could find out more.

The Internet is the best thing that ever happened to China. It turns us into individuals and also enables us to share our perceptions and feelings. It creates a culture of individualism and exchange even though the real society doesn't promote it. There isn't a single Chinese university that can invite me to give a talk. Even though I know there are many students who would like to hear what I have to say.

I always want to design a frame that’s open to everyone. I don’t see art as a secret code.

In China, we don't have any contemporary art museums. Until a few years ago, we didn't even have a gallery.

I'm doing quite a few things now. In one day, I will go to Kassel, Germany, for a documentary project I've been preparing for half a year. I will bring 1,001 Chinese to participate as my artwork there - any Chinese who is a Chinese passport holder and over eighteen years old could apply through my blog. I'm just bringing them to Kassel to see the art show, and pay their room and board.

It's always nice to share your energy with young people, the people who might not have any skills but are simply willing to be a part of it.

Of course, there [in China] has to be chaos. It has to be crazy, and I don't think there's anything wrong about it except this government, which is really incapable of doing anything meaningful.
