really liked this and the artist's descriptions of his work.
Another means of expression and with a whole history in the materials. Lovely. I would try it in my garden, but I'd probably be arrested! :)
It's interesting to think that he's using his ancestor's recipe.
The Chinese basically invented gunpowder.
are those lines by the trunk after they remove the initial stencil the fuses?
Fantastic!
ART IS EXPLOSION！！
luckily the title clarifies that it is "exploding" gunpowder or I may have mistaken it for the type of gunpowder that doesn't explode
Artwork is seen now a days as I believe is a competition... Everyone just trying to do the most craziest shit .... Simplicity at its finest is true art.
music from the video?
cant find them anywhere
Music credits?
Anyone know the reason for a footprint?
gold
Holy shit! I was expecting it to look like most modern art, that would be awful and/or ugly. But the outcome was actually beautiful! Very unexpected and intriguing.
brilliant
does anyone know artist like him at all??? that share similarities in art and innovation??

I paint with lightning (up to 30.000 volts) and chemicals and ...
from very realistic things to abstract things. You might like it or not.
Anyway enjoy your day guys

Andy Goldsworthy may share some similarities in his innovative use of natural materials and his interest i understanding and forming conversation with nature :)!
BAD ASS!
or maybe its about using what you have creatively...
Usually not a fan of this kind of gimmicky art, but his work is actually very visualy appealing to me. Some other artists that use crazy techniques paintings just look like shit a 5 year old made
seen better example?
Looked like a metal blade too! lol
Everything is ok....
Cai Guo-Qiang Paints with Exploding Gunpowder, There's a different kind of gun powder?
3:20 ring of smoke!!
boom.
LOL!
What?
5:38 do you remember the scandal about those fireworks? i do
yeah, un-exploded gunpowder
Nice
+General .Cinema no , he´s from China , Nice is in France !
are you an idiot?
General .Cinema I think the word idiot first used ancient Greeks for people who are involved in politics . The answer is , NO , I´m not politically involved !
Always nice ˙(get it ´´NICE´´) to meet a person with a sense of humor !
boom
Not possible with current pyrotechnical technology. The timing needed is just too tight. The only way to achieve it is to use electronic means for lifting and breaking the shells. They can generally be programmed within 1 ms of each other which is just not possible with conventional shell fusing techniques.
1ms? You must be high. 30ms would be just fine.
ill give him credit, judging by conventional standards its impressive, but i dont see how he needs microchips in the actual fireworks to achieve this, im pretty sure at the very minimum a very similar result could be accomplished with conventional means
Deidara! :O
🏯
they sold 5% to murdoc..
Rupert Murdoch is not that bad
this guys using microchips...in fireworks...and thats the best footprint he can achieve? in 2013? hmmmmmmmmmmm....
This was 2008
Deidara IRL *_*
Now a days? What the fuck do you call the Sistine Chapel? Simplistic? Crazy shit is nothing new
"My name is Khan and i am not a terrorist" A must see movie!
Artists are just nutters. Stop giving them attention.
I%20want%20to%20be%20like%20him%2C%20with%20a%20true%20gun%20and%20those%20lady%20assistants.
Third comment
somebody is just dumb...thinkin that they r smarter than an artist
I bet his carbon tax would be tremendous!
The "paintings" are just cheesy... People will always be more impressed when they can spot a tree, over something abstract. But while having no understanding of art always criticize contemporary art which they don't get.
Wow. Ignorance much? What do you think people thought thousands of years ago when people first drew or painted a tree, without the aid of technology to make photorealism? I bet they thought it was abstract and made no sense too.
Can someone here justify the air pollution & environment degradation created by such nuisance experiments ??
N further more if tomorrow this so called contemporary artist experiments with bomb explosives or radioactive substances or animal parts or something, will we so called humans blindly appreciate this Foolishness ???
He said revolution, this man is clearly anti-communist make him disappear.
That's awesome
