This week, the world gathers in Beijing for the 2008 Olympic games. This is the extraordinary moment China has been dreaming of for 100 years. People have been longing for this moment, because it symbolises a turning point in China's relationship with the outside world.

The people who control culture in China have no culture.

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 think art certainly is the vehicle for us to develop any new ideas, to be creative, to extend our imagination, to change the current conditions.

The practice of photography is no longer a means for recording reality. Instead, it has become reality itself

If I really have nothing to do, I just watch my cats, take some photos, and go back to my personal blog.

As a total activity - I practice curating, art, architecture, writing, and publishing all together. I still act as a living creature.
