Walter Benjamin once wrote that we need to learn how to get lost in a city as in a forest, you need to learn how to find the paths and trails that corss the city in . Being a philosopher with a vein of melancholy, Benjamin trains himself to find the entrance of maze in the personal link map on his mind.

The 21 century Shanghai has no modernism depression at all. However, artists meet a basement space, they train themselves to get into maze. Their life and works are a kind of apolaustic, lack of plans, too idealist, poor of logically explaining. They free their thoughts in theis special space just like bards, think aloud, off and on, but hard change into better. More factor of chanciness composes these art works. “All things will resolve themselves into ambiguity.” The energy may come from the positive spiritual freedom be comfirmed by our culture.
