Beijing 798 Art Zone

798 is several acres of an abandoned military electronics complex that has a new life as the country's cutting edge art movement. Al and I have never seen artwork like this anywhere else in the world. Al is mimicking how the young Chinese girls pose for every picture that they take of each other.

We walked into a blank room and a light show suddenly began after the water was poured into the clay pot. Wild!


An exhibit of the actual train that was crushed in a mountain tunnel during an earthquake.




A computerized light show of thousands of light bulbs on strings held from the ceiling in a space that was 10x10x10 that changed colors and patterns to pulsating music.
