Description: "What is the true nature of reality?” is a special edition print from Ai Weiwei’s 81 Questions, a striking series of 81 hand-signed silkscreen prints that merge human creativity with the evolving intelligence of technology. Across 81 days, Ai Weiwei posed 81 Questions to both AI and society, contemplating humanity's place amidst a landscape of rapid change and technological evolution. The print’s meticulously laid-out letters are composed using Lego bricks and arranged on a grid. ″This is not about freedom of speech. This is about freedom of questions,″ emphasises Ai, highlighting the profound significance of inquiry in an era marked by uncertainty.
