I wonder how many people actually worked to produce this. I love it, but can't help thinking that it could drive small birds mad.

O god do they break when the people walk on them?? I couldn't take it! Somehow this upsets me a lot. (Maybe that means it's good art?)

What will happen to these seeds after this installation?
What a joke! Think about all the energy to make, process, paint and distribute this! What kind of a world do we live in that we spend 2 years to make 100 million FAKE sunflower seeds by a million Chinese workers!!. The guy to came up with this.... nuts! and what when this exhibition gets tired?
Get a grip folks!

Hells bells people. If the Tate have the funding, then some people in China just made an honest living for two years, and we get to enjoy exploring the result. Stranger things have been shown at the Tate, and exhibits which took longer to produce. Calm down, go see it, then have your rant!

I would like to know more about the process and logistics - how many people were involved with the painting and moulding etc.

100,000,000 seeds / 1,000 square meters
100,000 seeds / 1 square meter
1 seed / 6 work-minutes
1 square meter = 600,000 work-minutes
525,600 minutes of life / year
1 square meter = 1.141 years of the life of one human being

egister now. I'm Mark. I live in Asia. Have done for most of the last 25 years. This work is brilliant, amazing, and incredibly profound. But I can't help thinking about the artisans.
What the hell did they get paid?
Fucking slave labor. How does it work?
