People often say that “Today is the scholar of yesterday”. This project “Ideas on the move” is an actual practice to make prototypes of some art works and actions or a part of the project that was exhibited in some large-scale international art festival being held in the past at home and abroad. It aims to bring such good works and events, also bad works and events to the present beyond the era, the place and the situations where they happened. In some cases, it might be better if modifying an event or two works fit together.

It was really tough and in the end I realized that the writing could not stop as well as picnicking. so I think we should not think what it is and control how we do. Every time might be beautiful and silly, and in the ambiguity our picnic could be good.. i guess
