Cildo Meireles | TateShots

Brazilian artist Cildo Meireles at Tate Modern -- the artist's first UK retrospective. His work is characterised by a high degree of interactivity, as well as recurring motifs of barriers, fencing and mesh.
For a special event, Meireles invited members of the public to help create the latest version of his work Meshes of Freedom. He told us about the significance of the work and why art is not just for the eyes.

We do film in 1080p now, sadly when this film was made in 2008 we didn't have equipment that would allow for this.

The exhibition was totally mindblowing. The guy is a genius.

Mor show! Truly awesome. His work never ceases to surprise and astound me.

Lindíssimo!!

Because who would want to see art above 360p? Tate should have a bake sale for a 1080p camera.

A shame, indeed. I'm sure the final edit is not 360p...as no professional camera shoots that small. A bit of footwork could pay off if you go back to the production team that made the pieces. The master edits will be in a lot better form, and at least 640x480.
