Love or hate, which lasts longer? Is Edward Snowden guilty? Will capitalism have an end? For Ai Weiwei, it’s not the answer to these questions that is interesting, but rather the way we search for it.
In a new exhibition at Piccadilly Circus, London, Ai explores this drive for information. Over the course of 81 days – the length of time he spent in a Chinese prison – the artist asks questions, a new one each day, to both artificial intelligence (AI) and to the general public.
