Hi! Hi! Hi! is a performance project for the Shanghai Waves Historical Archives and Works of Shanghai Biennale at the Power Station of Art. Starting from the research of the museum's audience, through a series of field interviews and workshops in the museum, _ao_ao_ing invited people in the museum who are not artists, including fans of the Shanghai Biennale, volunteers and security guards, to participate in the creation.

As a result, Hi! Hi! Hi! is an open and private "silent" ball on that day. The ball emerged in the museum along with the visitors , and found another way to interpret the exhibition while keeping the protocol of silence intact. The passive act of viewing was transformed into an native action, where the viewer turned into the performer, re-examining the relationship of viewing in this space. Through a series of actions, the existing power hierarchy in the space was disturbed, and the multiple invisible rules between the artist and the audience were re-examined, exposing the relationship between art viewers, art volunteers, contemporary art venues, and contemporary art is re-examined.

In such a "ball", there was no distinction between audience and performer, nor between art and non-art, but only the doers and the feelers. As long as they entered this space, they all were the protagonists of this ball.
