Miao, who was born in Shanghai and lives in New York, is renting out a private jail cage in a studio on a roof deck in Bushwick for $1 a night. (How New York does that sound?) The metal-barred “dream cage,” as Miao calls it in his listing, contains a simple bed, toilet, sink, and clock. If you rent it for two nights (the minimum stay), you must follow a fairly strict set of rules: From 9pm to 9 am, you have the studio space to yourself and are not required to stay in the cage. But from 9am to noon, you must stay in the cage, during which time you CANNOT access internet, NO electronic devices, books, radio, pens or craftwork. You CANNOT talk to anybody. You CANNOT do Yoga or any other exercises. You CANNOT sleep. There are two cameras in the space that monitor your activities to make sure you don’t break the rules; there’s also a non-monitored bathroom outside the cage that you can use in your off time. Any violation of the rules results in the loss of your $100 deposit fee.
