Artist Ai Weiwei has been known to use LEGO bricks as an art material, leveraging the analog bit shape of the square building blocks to generate so-called “glitch aesthetics” that comment on digital disruption, paranoia around systems, and miscommunication (among other associations attendant to their subject matter).
In his newest and largest LEGO work yet, slated as a feature of an upcoming exhibition at the Design Museum in London, Ai presents “Water Lilies #1,” a recreation of Claude Monet’s ubiquitous Impressionist work.
