“Salute to the Game” is a two-day public intervention that I did during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. During Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, I dressed in a military suit, walking through the Olympics’ red zones, and saluting to the Olympics with my left hand, which is the “wrong” hand. My salute targets were Olympic symbols, the massive advertisements, tourists, friendly public arts and so on.
