The article seems to be arguing that this 12th century artist thought about their art in just the same way as contemporary artists. That seems unlikely somehow.

If anything can cross such large barriers of time and culture, it's artists' drive to create.

I was very confused by the HN headline because it subtly changed the capitalisation of the original. Ai Weiwei is quite different to AI Weiwei.

I had the same question! For other readers, Ai Weiwei is an artist: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ai_Weiwei
