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 activist art?
Activist Art is a form of art created to address social and political issues. It often involves public engagement and works closely with communities to raise awareness or inspire change. While it can include elements of performance art, it is not limited to this form. Examples include creating and distributing social protest posters or organizing community-based art projects that highlight specific causes.
