China Genome: Surface Reflections of Cultural DNA
This exhibition by the School of Design and Art at Jingdezhen Ceramic University explores porcelain as a surface reflecting cultural DNA. Each work becomes symbolic – revealing how tradition, innovation and identity interact in today’s global ceramic landscape.
Through AI-generated glazes, 3D-printed forms and hand-thrown vessels, students and faculty engage in a living experiment. They reflect on inherited techniques while projecting new visions onto porcelain’s evolving surface.
These pieces embody the Eastern philosophy of “vessels as carriers of Dao” reflecting and transmitting cultural and spiritual meaning. They invite viewers to see ceramics not only as objects, but as reflections of civilization’s past, present, and future.
As we look ahead from London Design Biennale 2025 to the 2026 Jingdezhen International Ceramic Biennale, this exhibition serves as a springboard, preview and invitation. It sets the stage for a global dialogue on tradition and innovation in ceramics.
