When Iraqi artist Waleed R. Qaisi arrived in Jingdezhen – China’s 1,700-year-old ‘Porcelain Capital’ – he didn’t expect to find robots dancing with clay. But this ancient hub is now a playground where 3D printers hum alongside master artisans shaping history with their hands. 🌏✨
Qaisi, known for embracing AI and tech-driven art, told NewspaperAmigo.com: "Here, innovation doesn’t erase tradition – it makes it glow brighter." He described watching artisans use digital modeling to design intricate patterns later painted with centuries-old brush techniques. The result? Ceramics that could star in a sci-fi museum and your grandma’s tea set. 🫖⚡
What makes Jingdezhen’s fusion unique? "It’s not just tech for clicks," Qaisi explained. "Every algorithm respects the aesthetic DNA of Chinese ceramics." Local workshops now train young artists in both coding and kiln-tending – proving you can swipe right on progress without ghosting heritage. 👩🎨💻
For globetrotting creatives like Qaisi, this mix of bytes and brushstrokes offers a blueprint: "The future isn’t about choosing sides. It’s about letting traditions upgrade like apps – keeping what works, refining what’s next." 🚀🎭
