ai weiwei: surveillance camera blocker
chinese artist ai weiwei proposes ‘surveillance camera blocker’ to extend the reach of cans of spraypaint, making it easier to block out security devices.
as well as listing the necessary materials: a spray bottle, a wine bottle opener, a bike bottle cage, a bike brake bar, a screw, and a pole ai weiwei also provides a step-by-step production procedure. of course if building your own surveillance camera blocker sounds too much like hard work, boing boing have found a similar device dubbed the ‘spray close’ on amazon that costs around $11. the device is based on the book ‘do it: the compendium’ by hans ulrich obrist.

I love Ai WeiWei’s work, but I think he forgot to include a tin-foil had on the list… .A ski mask too. 😀
Maybe in China or Iraq..but I frankly like cameras. I want every miscreant to think they monitored.
… and, when the cops see a guy in the middle of a city with a fishing pole smelling of solvents – do you think they’re not going to break his arms?!
Dumb idea; this guy is smiling at the camera…!

Um yeah… Who blocks the camera while he blocks the camera?
it’s not just about the idea, it’s then inner anger of the artist, chinese surveillance camera deserves this treatment!

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant as is all of Wei Wei’s art pieces and his amazing activism!
More than 10 years ago, my professor at art school used to say, when you amass 379 (or any random large anough number) of similar mundane objects and arrange them in a gallery space, it will look like an artwork.
