Shh... That never happened. *waves hand* these are not the droids you are looking for...

anyway, Great vid, takes a lot of skill to do that with ease as they did. everytime they started a new picture i kept thinking "NOO theyre ruining the old one!" but they kept gettig better and better.

Personal Fav. was the Great wall seen at the beginning and later in the vid. this is stuff i would like to see more of

I believe the artist is Ferenc Cako. His website is:

http://www.cakostudio.hu/

Another one of his performances is here:

Fuck you China, you think you can put up happy show like this and expect the world to forget about all bullshit you`ve been pulling on human rights? Go fuck yourself.

^^ This one`s done by a Chinese artist, Gao Zanmin(at the end of the clip is his website, it`s in Chinese though). Other clips are available here:

http://u.youku.com/user_video/uid_zanmin.html
(just click on the snapshots)

Cako`s performance at SICAF 2003 was immense though, and that was the first one I`ve seen on Internet here, so probably Gao was inspired by him.

^ Well, I`d suggest you DO forget about all the bullshit when enjoying art, and in turn forget about art when dealing with bullshit.
You can find plenty related articles to discuss these issues, but if you just want to shout about your dislike towards something....that`s fine by me.

^^ Um, yeah, that`s a good way to remind people not to jump on the bandwagon....

^ I`m glad that despite the random "fxxk-offs" most people seem to appreciate the coolness of the vid.
For that I thank the spiked community.
