when zhao tweeted ai weiwei, by Gentle Mental on May 31, 2012 10:00:26 GMT 1, Last night, zhao tweeted ai weiwei, showed ai images of zhao's latest prints, created a very mini twitter frenzy, before ai placed his last tweet for the night with a incredibly poignant/funny comment.
16 hours later, zhao is still shaking with excitement.
here's my very poor translation of the event:
(NOW MODIFIED FOR EASY(ish) READING...) zhao was using highlyframable's twitter account.
zhao: using very shallow, superficial, with no traditional understanding of beauty, I made a cartoon of you. Would really like to hear what you think?
Attached:
Ai Weiwei: Looks fun, could be more โhighโ. Yiteng Shi: Oh. Itโs cute/cheeky. Christina: Mao wei wei Wimish: Feels like everyone looks like mao New wave: Retro style, shallow, or are you anti deep? pretending to be what youโre not? zhao: this is a low budget promotional activity. Not graffiti. Should be legal!!
Ai Weiwei: Not bad
Attached: zhao: GIANT! Careful!
Ai Weiwei: ! !
zhao: Thanks for your โnot badโ! this will be the beginning of a global campaign! Here comes the giant!
Miao: The audience does not like this. Repeating the image on Maoโs body is unbearable. Do it on ultraman (cartoon hero) is a better choice. Taigaking12: Why does it look like Mao? Are you crazy? Fan Qiang: isnโt this Ai (weiwei) Mao? Used to be Love Mao, now the name has changed.
Ai Weiwei: Hmm. miao - "The audience does not like this. Repeating the image on Maoโs body is unbearable. Do it on ultraman (cartoon hero) is a better choice."
zhao: Itโs Chairman Ai. While in Guangzhou, I came across lots of Maos in gold frames hanging. Want to make my own leaderโs portraits to hang in every home and office
YUANZHAO1: The audience thinks itโs best you donโt say this is your creation. Ai Weiwei: Quite a few Retweets youโre getting! Zengyinng1980: Cool! (?) li2nd: I recommend a fat version of japanese hero riding grass mud horse, haha
zhao: grass mud horse? I have them! in this weiweicam piece!
YUANZHAO1: The audience thinks itโs best you donโt say you created this creation by yourself. zhao: okโฆ I did not create this by myself Ai Weiwei: I too, did not, create myself by myself. (I too, did not give birth to me.)
zhao paused for a long while...
zhao: I want to send you these artwork tomorrow morning. Can I have an address? AirSurG: 233~ Miao: really think you take craft too seriously, your craft is fine, very detailed, but your thinking is too simple and traditional. If you are a young person, please show us some young person style/spirit! Runningninin:But I mature (cooked) by myself. โAi Weiwei I too, did not, give birth (create) to myself.โ (birth has another meaning as raw, and mature has another meaning as cooked.) and so onโฆ
