Cai Lujun, 42, a member of the Chinese Dissident Community in exile, saw something deeper in the installation. He was one of the first people in China to be sent to prison for posting pro-democracy articles on the internet, serving a three-year prison sentence from 2003-2006 in Hebei Province, just outside Beijing. For him, the work was personal, and what it stated was a call to arms, transforming the bicycles of the exhibit into would-be dissidents, into those critical of the Chinese Communist Party.
