Artist Ai Weiwei speaks to journalists at his studio in Beijing, China, Wednesday, May 22, 2013. Ai's music video accompanying his heavy metal single Dumbass released Wednesday depicts an insensitive, overbearing state power that tramples on individual rights.

Ai later was convicted of tax evasion, which his supporters saw as punishment for his activism.
