Writing with Xu Bing's "Book from the Earth," Moca, Shang Hai


I think the art museums in china had the biggest impact on me. I kept reading about this Chinese contemporary art scene and how it was booming in China. Here in this video we're using Xu Bing's "Book from The EArth, " the piece uses pictographs so that any language can comincate with each other. To me ominous in it's cool break down of our diferences across the globe and inspiring in it's ability to make people think about the modern era and it's universal cominication. What would we ever do without all this information at the finger tips. maybe it's a handicap maybe it will take us into space. For me, I thnk I'm suffering from the information overload. How to make work about that?
