“Twitter Bodhisattva”: Ai Weiwei’s Media Politics

This article explores Ai Weiwei 's media politics as an artist and activist. In 1997, Ai Weiwei envisioned a modernist campaign called "uncompromising vigilance" of society and power, and since 2005 has been working on blogs and Weibo to achieve this goal. We believe that his "communication campaign" is part of a wider range of art and political programs long before he appears online. In this survey, we ignore censorship and surveillance and explore how artists are using blogs and Weibo to spread his "waking" information. It shows how the communication strategy of Iweiway combines international celebrity status, criticism, satire, and weather interaction with netizens and media. We also criticize the validity and consistency of this radical model from two perspectives - the analysis of "private telematics" at Boryayard and Jodin's "blog theory" - and finally its impact. This research aims to deepen our understanding of China's activist network communication strategy and to clarify the cultural production and consumption of Chinese cyberspace as a social political barometer.
