Close to the river we find the lizard Garto. Abe, the bumblebee, will take Garto out of boredom, and will make him live a day full of adventure

Ai Weiwei (Chinese artist)

Picture-source

Ai Weiwei is the renaissance man of Chinese contemporary art. After a twelve-year stint in New York, he returned to Beijing to become a publisher, curator, architect, blogger, and vocal critic of Chinese government policy, in addition to performing his multifarious roles as neo-Conceptual artist—which include even tour guide: For Documenta 12, he transported 1,001 Chinese citizens to Kassel. This exhibition, Ai’s largest to date, will feature thirty-two sculptures, photographs, videos, and installations made primarily in the past decade. To articulate the artist’s diverse vocabulary, curator Mami Kataoka will divide the show into three loose groupings—cubic and polyhedral shapes, ceramic-based works, and carved maps and furniture—based on recurring forms and materials in Ai’s practice. The artist may be a media darling, but this show promises a deeper critical look into his oeuvre rather than at his celebrity. (Colin Chinnery, Artforum)

Gertie the Dinosaur - Winsor McCay 1914

This is kind of fun because it's one of the first animated cartoons.
Just imagine what went through the viewer's mind when they watched it ...

One of Windsor McCay's first successful characters was Gertie the Dinosaur. In this movie, we can see how the animated dinosaur obeys the orders given by her creator, who was placed in front of the projection screen, and who interacted with her.
