through nearly 20 years creation, the gao brothers are implementing a self-determined course of action ranging from passive discussion to a call to action. breaking free from mere tabletop, dust collecting art, and then once again from traditional installation art, the gaos employ a full spectrum of recording arts and environmental stimuli to define their realm. in the gradual process of their sometimes sudden, other times laborious interchanges they use the pretext of performance art and other open-minded pretenses to infiltrate public space and society at large, right down to the lowest levels. for it is only at the lowest , layman levels of society can art realize its highest two-fold purpose of upholding redemption and salvation while consciously playing the social critic. in the past few years, their live embrace performances inspired "international hug day", and appealed to our conscious state which was already looking for latent and meaningful value.
through embrace they recovered the love, friendship, sense of belonging, sympathy, modesty, tolerance and other precious qualities that the creator endowed to mankind; embrace participants the world over learned the true power of love and redemption, and many young people were inspired to establish new lifestyles.
this call of the wild effectively exhausted the gao brothers strength, but at the same time, embrace fostered for them a sense of self-trust and the everlasting roots of faith. in the eyes of someone who puts their faith in systems, this kind of forward-thinking, cult inspiring activity nurtures the growth and development of individuals spiritual life and thereby the bereaved soul of the entire world, making for a prayerful night's vigil.
