Ai Weiwei's Studio[br]Beijing, China

0:00:27.077,0:00:37.689
84 days after Ai's release from detention

0:00:37.689,0:00:38.652
[sounds of typing on computer keyboards]

0:00:58.018,0:01:19.105
-That Apple keyboard is on this connector[br]- Isn't that Apple's too?

0:01:19.105,0:01:19.928
-That's not Apple's..

0:01:19.928,0:01:21.814
- Oh, the keyboard is no Apple's?

0:01:21.814,0:01:21.957
- Someone made it...[br]- Combined?

0:01:21.957,0:01:22.029
- Yeah.

0:01:22.029,0:01:22.101
I wake up early, like 6:00 to 7:00

0:01:22.101,0:01:26.435
and I would sit in front of a computer

0:01:26.435,0:01:35.303
to send some news and read some tweets

0:01:37.302,0:01:42.268
And I wait for my assistant to come,

0:01:42.310,0:01:46.081
Then we discuss some matters related to

0:01:46.081,0:01:50.481
our shows, production..

0:01:51.745,0:01:54.946
You know, I basically have nothing to do..

0:01:54.946,0:02:01.030
I cannot really be active on the Internet..

0:02:04.764,0:02:08.845
We are completely handling a new human condition

0:02:09.462,0:02:12.645
How to express yourself and how to

0:02:12.645,0:02:16.245
make this kind of 'new communication'

0:02:30.163,0:02:33.813
[During the days in detention, I thought most about the moon]

0:02:33.813,0:02:35.638
[The moon is exceptionally beautiful]

0:02:35.638,0:02:37.463
The technology for the free exchange of information

0:02:37.463,0:02:42.646
and all those have become so advanced

0:02:42.646,0:02:45.362
It changes so fast

0:02:45.947,0:02:51.812
So I think artists should be more aware of the change

0:02:52.156,0:02:56.740
And have yet to really enjoy

0:02:58.401,0:03:02.323
this new character of the time.
