【新唐人2011年2月23日訊】中國知名藝術家艾未未,與多名支持者一起,趕赴2010年度「藝術權力榜」頒獎典禮現場,贈送主辦單位「新浪作弊無恥」等多面錦旗,對新浪暗箱操作評選抗議。
《新浪網》中國網站1月26號推出「新浪藝術權力榜」評選活動,知名藝術家艾未未,以壓倒性的優勢列網友投票的第一名,但27號,這項評選的整個投票頁面卻消失了。
新浪「藝術權力」評選頁面這個月(2月)15號突然「復活」,在「年度藝術人物」中,艾未未的名字卻徹底消失。但新浪並沒有意識到,在另外一個評選細項「年度藝術機構」 中,「三影堂」作為入選藝術機構,「三影堂」的顧問正是景觀建築設計師艾未未。
隔天16號,中國網友紛紛上網投票「三影堂」,「三影堂」得票5000多,位居榜首。
當天晚上8點,主辦方《新浪網》人為將原本第二名的「嘉德」藝術品拍賣公司的3400多票改為5000多票,「三影堂」的5000多票改為4500多票,修改動作被多名網友截屏留作證據。
17號,多名中國網友就更改票數事由,致電《新浪網》質詢,但《新浪網》拒絕透露詳情。
2月21號,在這項活動的頒獎現場,艾未未及支持者趕赴現場,向主辦方贈送多面旗子,上頭寫著「新浪作弊無恥」、「你們把我弄哪兒去了」等。
中國知名的音樂人「左小詛咒」:「整個過程是滑稽的,也很幽默。大冬天,很多人排隊跟艾老師合影,因為後面一面錦旗寫著新浪可恥。」
而艾未未認為,很多所謂的藝術家,依附權力,做了那麼多不好的事,仍然想冠冕堂皇的爭得這些榮譽,就會想到世界上為甚麼很多國家,正在通過抗爭讓這些人下來。
艾未未:「實際上中國是沒有甚麼所謂的真正的當代藝術,因為這個所謂的當代藝術跟社會實際、社會的這種公開程度是有著緊密聯繫的。當一個國家完全的對這一切進行封鎖和壓制的時候,實際上是不可能有真正的這麼一個平臺的。」
2月19號,新浪公布了即將進行頒獎的消息,艾未未網上公開徵集網友的看法,多名網友認為新浪作為公開的網絡媒體,在評選活動中,暗箱操作,有違公正,而新浪網趨向中宣部門,進行自宮,會失去一個媒體的公信力。
「左小詛咒」表示,藝術應該更加娛樂化、成為每個人都能參與的事情。每個人都能參與,就會建立公開公正的規則。他認為,在這個事情中,新浪媒體也有難言的苦衷,因為他們受到主管宣傳部門的管制。

Well-known Chinese artist Ai Weiwei and supporters
rushed to the 2010 "Art Power List" ceremony site,
to present the organizers with many silk banners
with "Sina』s Shameless Cheating" on them
to protest against Sina』s black-box selection.
Sina.com launched “Art Power List" contest
on Jan. 26.
Ai Weiwei received an overwhelming amount of votes.
However, one day later, on Jan. 27,
the webpage displaying the voting results disappeared.
The webpage suddenly resurfaced on Feb. 15.
Within "Artists of the Year" category, however,
Ai Weiwei』s name has completely disappeared.
In the category "Art Institutions of the Year",
Three Shadows Photography Art Center was picked.
Perhaps Sina didn』t realize that Ai Weiwei is
actually the center』s consultant.
The next day, many netizens voted for the center.
With over 5,000 votes, Three Shadows topped the list.
At 8 p.m. on the same day, the organizer Sina.com
changed the votes received by the 1st runner-up
from around 3,400 votes to over 5,000 votes.
Three Shadows』 votes were reduced to 4,500 or so.
Many netizens made screenshots as proof.
On Feb. 17, many called Sina.com to question
about the altered votes,
but Sina.com refused to disclose details.
On Feb. 21, on the award ceremony,
Ai Weiwei and his supporters arrived at the scene,
and presented many banners to the organizers,
with words "Sina』s Shameless Cheating".
Well-known Chinese musician "Little Left Curse":
The whole process is ridiculous and very humorous.
In the cold, people lined up to take photos with Ai,
because the banner at the back said Sina is shameful.
Ai Weiwei said, many so-called artists bow to power.
They have done so many detrimental things.
Yet they still want to obtain the honors.
There are struggles in many countries
to bring such people down.
Ai: In fact, China has no real contemporary art,
because the contemporary art is closely linked to
social realities and the openness of the society.
When a country blocks and oppresses all this,
the platform for arts cannot really exist.
On Feb. 19, Sina.com announced the award ceremony.
Ai openly asked for netizens』 opinions online.
Many netizens found that as an open network media,
Sina.com carried out unfair black-box selections.
Sina.com bowed to the CCP』s Propaganda Bureau
and “self-castrated”. As a media, it lost credibility.
"Little Left Curse" said, art should be more entertaining,
and should allow everyone to participate.
Open and fair rules should be established. He believes
Sina.com may have unspeakable difficulties, because
they are monitored by the Propaganda Bureau.
