via topless robot: China's Invisible Man

Liu Bolin stands still for hours while his assistants paint him to match his surroundings. Wow. That's some dedication to art. I wonder if it's also a subtle political statement.

Sounds more like a political statement...patient dragons and all -

Heh, yeah. But I guess it can't be anything overt or he'd be censored.

Julie says that you need a Captial-A for this kind of Art. Or at least that's what I assume she'd say if she weren't passed out.

And I've been working on professional bullshit my annual review for far too long (read: t>0) so forgive the potential brain fart...should I know who the hell Liu Bolin is?

I don't think so... he's invisible.

I mean, I'd never heard of him until I read the article.

I couldn't locate him at all in the stuffed panda photo until I cheated and scrolled down to find his shoes. Wow, indeed. And I'd say the pictures with the policeman were VERY political.
