Another recent and related participatory project, was the **sunflower seeds** installation by Ai Wei Wei for the Tate Modern in London, 2010. He built a huge network of porcelain craftsmen in order to produce millions of fake sunflower seeds. He addressed the problem of (un)employment in China, reviving an old technique for centuries mastered by Chinese, the porcelain, while using a symbol of the Maoist times, the sunflower seed. Wei Wei created a massive landscape inside Tate's Turbine Hall after bringing the seeds from China. I had the fortunate chance to visit the installation last year and I was really touched by the project. The process is beautifully documented in a 15 minutes video: http:// | Another recent and related participatory project, was the **sunflower seeds** installation by Ai Wei Wei for the Tate Modern in London, 2010.
