Ever Walked On Seeds ?

Yesterday I took a trip to the Tate Modern Museum to check out some Material Gesture art and I happened to also check out the latest Turbine Hall project, where Chinese artist Ai Weiwei had placed millions of sunflower seeds on the ground like a carpet where you could walk on and touch.

Now you're probably wondering what's so cool about this, well, every single one of these life sized sunflower seeds are actually hand crafted in porcelain, individually sculpted and then painted by specialists working in small scale workshops in the Chinese city of Jingdezhen.

Go check it out now yourself, the project will be around until 2 may 2011 !
