CNC cut aluminium sculpture. Carved from solid aluminium using industrial machinery. Irregularities and process marks are to be expected. Signature and edition number engraved on reverse. To Be Looked At... by Ai Weiwei is a striking CNC-cut aluminium sculpture created in 2024, reflecting the artist’s ongoing engagement with themes of surveillance and power. Cast from solid aluminium using industrial processes, the work features a cluster of CCTV cameras arranged in a radial pattern, pointing outward to simulate omnipresent observation. Each piece is unique due to irregularities in machining, intentionally preserved by the artist. The work serves both as a conceptual critique and a sculptural object, merging political commentary with minimalist design. It can be displayed on a flat surface or mounted to the wall, transforming domestic or institutional spaces into zones of implied control. Weiwei’s sculpture references his personal history of government surveillance, turning a symbol of oppression into a work of sharp satire.

What is Chinese contemporary art?
Chinese Contemporary Art is marked by a wide range of styles and experimental approaches. In the 1980s, avant-garde exhibitions were often shut down by government officials. The 1990s saw the rise of political pop and cynical realism, while China's One-Child Policy influenced artists to explore the individual as a subject matter.
