New: New directly from publisher or artist.
As New: The book is in pristine, original condition as when published. This grade may apply to older books that have been carefully stored, never shelved, thumbed, or opened.
Fine: A Fine book is nearly As New in condition but without being crisp. The book may have been opened and read, but shows no defects to the book, jacket, or pages.
Near Fine: A book approaching Fine (or As New) but with a couple of very minor defects or faults, which must be noted by the seller
Very Good: A book showing small signs of wear but no tears on either binding or paper. The book maintains its structural integrity, and any defects must be noted by the seller.
Good: Describes a book with average wear while maintaining complete text pages. The book is intact and readable, but shows signs of use. Any defects must be noted by the seller.
Fair: A worn book that has complete text pages (including those with maps or plates) but may lack endpapers, half-title, etc. (which must be noted).The binding and jacket (if any) may show significant wear. All defects should be noted.

The "云云" project explores the multifaceted meaning of "云" in ancient Chinese literature, representing "speech" or "expression" and phonetically linked to "芸芸," symbolizing the human collective. In the modern context, it refers to cloud computing, bridging the infinite changes in natural clouds with human emotions. This project focuses on the evolving nature of communication from traditional to contemporary, emphasizing the importance of social interaction in intellectual and cultural development.
From philosophical discussions in ancient Greek squares to Confucian teacher-student dialogues in China, communication has always been at the core of cultural and political progress. However, technological advancements have challenged traditional communication, particularly in terms of its essence and self-awareness. This shift has reignited discussions on eternal questions like "Who am I" and "What is the present," quoting insights from Augustine, Shakespeare, and Bois. The view that "everyone is an actor" and "everyone is an artist" has transformed into the reality of "everyone is a media person," notably influenced by the rise of video streaming.
This transformation is accompanied by instantaneous role changes, interactive dynamics between virtual and real worlds, inconsistencies in information quality, fake news, and concerns about privacy and data security—posing cognitive challenges and obstacles. In the "云云" project, 19 influential self-media personalities in various fields were selected to engage in offline discussions, capture moments through photography, and express the essence and immeasurable value of communicative behavior in a rapidly changing environment.
Birdhead consists of Ji Weiyu and Song Tao.
