The ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius has returned. Artist Zhang Huan opened a new art installation in Shanghai that features multiple interpretations of Confucius, including a giant, breathing robotic version.
The exhibit, on display at the Rockbund Art Museum through this month, addresses the questions: "How can we achieve sustainable development? What responsibilities come along with China’s rise in international importance? Where is the sense of spiritual belonging for contemporary Chinese?"
