Ai Weiwei:

I gave up painting about 20 years. I don't do paintings anymore. I hate the smell of the painting.  And I'm a very good painter. So, I think, okay, Lego may be a good approach. Lego is an interesting media, because it relates to human history. Like in Greek time or Romans, they use mosaic. And, today, actually, all our images from the computer is a pixel, it's digitally dots. So, I think it connects our modern technology to the variation of the way of expression. I just designed... I don't even have to physically touch it. I give to anybody in anywhere, they can structure exactly the same. That's the beauty of it. I think it's perfect for me.
