The chinese government has launched a social and political experiment 30 years after the tiananmen square protests. Sited between the ancient seat of power in the form of the forbidden city and the modern capitalistic world of tiananmen square, the Wall materializes the divide between two worlds. The Wall is a world free of governmental interference and media intervention. 13,200 feet long, the Wall is a closed circuit network where media production is circulated within and without through livestream video. open to the public for viewing, the Wall offers visitors glimpses into the media lives of the residents who produce media content to be consumed by the public, engaging the world through its skin of gigantic digital screens and digitalized public space. The Wall materializes the idea of polarised desires of people to see and to be seen, challenging the public with unregulated mediated realities that otherwise cannot exist in the outside world. >link for viewing on your phone
