What does it take to build a Jurassic Park in 2026? Forget billion-dollar biotech. In China, all you need is a six-piece McNuggets, some fries, and a packet of ketchup.

McDonald’s customers in China have been taking “playing with your food” to a whole new level. Using the food chain’s signature chicken nuggets, fries, and a bit of ketchup, people have been making their own dinosaurs. Dinosaur friends can be seen flocking together, exchanging hugs, and even drinking from ponds of sweet-and-sour sauce in scenes reminiscent of the classic 1993 film, Jurassic Park.

With so many tips and examples online for how to create your own perfect dinosaur park, nothing is stopping you from chasing your Jurassic dream.

A few months ago, ”vibe coding“ broke every social feed simultaneously. The premise is almost too simple: type one prompt, get a functioning app. Literally vibe coding, what you create depends on your mood.

Chinese Gen Z didn‘t just adopt it. They turned it into an art form. Scroll through Xiaohongshu and you’ll find college students building interactive journals, pixel-art generators, and personal mood trackers — all from a single sentence. Some creations are genuinely useful. Some are gloriously unhinged. And some make you pause and think: wait, what‘s even the point of making this?

Swipe to see what happens when the barrier to creation disappears entirely >>>

For years, China‘s intangible cultural heritage (非遗, fēiyí) was treated with museum-grade anxiety: scan it, preserve it, don’t touch it. But a new wave of young digital artists is completely flipping the script.

We‘re seeing Peking opera face-changing (变脸) re-coded as real-time motion-reactive projections. We’re seeing Bodhisattva iconography reborn as generative cyber-deities. We‘re seeing shadow puppetry (皮影戏) stripped of its strings and rebuilt with inverse kinematics.

For this generation, intangible heritage isn’t something to protect behind glass — it‘s something to rebuild and unleash on the world. By running the oldest crafts through the newest code, they’re carving out a lane that‘s entirely their own in the global digital art scene.

Imagine ancient agricultural fields swarming with autonomous drones and algorithmic robots. That’s the cyber-rural reality created by Chinese multimedia artist @cao_fei .

Her latest project, DASH: three years of fieldwork across rural China and Southeast Asia distilled into VR, video installations, and documentary footage capturing the collision between traditional farming and modern ag-tech.

For Cao Fei, the modern farm isn’t a pastoral escape, it’s a hyper-industrial landscape. As AI, drones, and automation reach the oldest human survival systems, a fascinating tension emerges: one that sits at the heart of contemporary Chinese culture: rapid technological revolution reshaping lived experience, subcultures, and rural ecosystems from the ground up.

As automation meets the plow, new questions open up about the human connection to the land.
