Wait a Minute...How Did He Do That? Impossible Art

That's awsome

those are awesome :O

The one called "hand" is not a real Li Wei!! The man in that picture is wearing full-length jeans, and not those sassy little trademark cut-offs!

Totally FAKE!

photoshop anyone?

i-a-b ftw :D

one word, three syllables: PHOTOSHOP

photoshoped duh

THIS IS AMAZING!!!!! HE ROCKZ!!!
\m/>.<\m/

awesome but is that art?

IAB IS AWESOME - very nice

OMG pH0T0sH0P3d!!!1!!!!11!!!

Just let it go, the photos are cool. Even if they are photoshopped, which I doubt they are.
Why does everything have to be photoshopped?

Do any of you "OMGPHOTOSHOPPED!!!!11" people even own Photoshop? I work with this stuff all the time and I can tell you that the info is true. It's scaffolding/wires etc.

P.S.

I-A-B rocks

THIS IS VERY INTERESTING...HOW WAS IT DONE///

this can encourage children to do dangerous things. what are you thinking???

its obviously done with wires, green screens, scaffholdingg......i mean really people....its so obvious

for lords sake yeah like children are gonna try to do things like that. sorry kids but no. you cant make real life sculptures of yourself and hang wires from from tehm dont be so silly...

freak

If the child is stupid enough to attempt something he saw in these photos, chances are he will inevitably do something equally stupid of his own device later on.

that's freaking incredible.

Yes, and they made a big plastic lifelike arm with hands to hold the guy above the street, but of course, wires too, to secure the "model" whose neck is in the "hand".

Photoshop does it cheaper. When the artist says "no photoshop", any decent investigator/researcher could find 150 similar products on the market that will alter images to produce these photos. You don't need photoshop to alter an image.

"Photoshop does it cheaper."

It's not a matter of expense, retard. It's art: part of what makes it meaningful is the sheer extravagance of the method of creating it.

But anyway, that first "29 Levels of Freedom" and "On the Earth Surface" are both just fucking beautiful, shopped or not.

i've figured out how he does it... he's filled with helium and the tings are keeping him from flying away not holding him up

read the info, its done by wires scafolding and mirrors . not photoshop

it totally is Li Wei. it's on his website..

i saw an exhibition of this guy's stuff in beijing in 2005 and the 'hand' one was actually done during the exhibition as a demonstration so it's definitely him and his methods are definitely "real" or not photoshopped or created with any other computer software (called photoshop or not).

and sure it's art, lots of things are 'art'. the exhibition was fantastic, the photos were all presented as extremely large format prints, almost the size of a wall each, and the prints were beautifully crisp and clear, walking into the space with them was really arresting and fascinating and highly entertaining, i grin even now thinking about it because i can remember thinking 'how awesome and what fun!'

it mentions how its done..

does anyone read anymore/\?

(no photoshop)

yes its art

ciool.
