“The man destroyed the large blue and white Porcelain Cube at a busy private opening for the exhibition “Who am I?” at Palazzo Fava in Bologna on the evening of September 21. Local police arrested a 57-year-old Czech man who has been identified in Italian media as Vaclav Pisvejc, a provocateur and self-proclaimed artist known for targeting important works of art.”

      It’s modern art most of it aimed at a moral.

      As a guess I’m going to assume the point is that it’s a fragile extremely delicate vase with literally no purpose as a vase.

      You can’t put anything in it or on it, it’s vapid and empty like… Art.

      I’m gunna guess this is collaborative in some way between the two.

      It’s using old techniques from Chinese history and applying them in a new way. Ai had to experiment and go through a lot of failure to produce such a different object. I don’t think the cube wireframe was important, just the old method being used to make a modern art piece.

      I like the idea of reinvigorating ancient crafting techniques by making modern art. I’m not exactly an art guy so I don’t know if it’s a unique idea but it made me think so I like it.
