Food Project Proposes Matrix-Style Vertical Chicken Farms

February 17th, 2012

There’s a fair amount of freak-out occurring over this, but as far as I can tell, this is an art project that attempts to draw attention to the ghastly nature of current industrial poultry production methods. Oh yeah, I had an, “Oh shit,” moment when I checked out the pictures of the growth pods (which I’d consider must see), but here’s the giveaway:

Ford goes a step further and proposes a “Headless Chicken Solution”. This would involve removing the cerebral cortex of the chicken to inhibit its sensory perceptions so that it could be produced in more densely-packed conditions without the associated distress. The brain stem for the chicken would be kept intact so that the homeostatic functions continue to operate, allowing it to grow.

Man or machine would have to lobotomize each chicken, without killing it. That’s pretty fiddly work. They would also have to remove the claws, connect up all of the input/output plumbing and the electro stimulators. Finally, the meat sack would have to be fitted into the growth frame. Never mind keeping all of that plumbing functioning nominally… My guess is that this would be an outstanding method of breeding new and terrifying antibiotic resistant pathogens.

Thumbs up for drawing attention to the Meatrix, but you’ll have a Mr. Fusion on your Delorean before you get any chicken meat this way.

Via: Wired:

Architecture student AndrÃ© Ford has proposed a new system for the mass production of chicken that removes the birds’ cerebral cortex so that they don’t experience the horrors of being packed together tightly in vertical farms.

…

After this “desensitisation”, the chickens could then be stacked into huge urban farms with around 1,000 chickens hooked up to each large vertical frames — a little like the network of pods the humans are connected to in The Matrix. The feet of the chickens would also be removed in order to pack more in. There could be dozens of these frames in the vertical farming system, which Ford refers to as the Centre for Unconscious Farming. Food, water and air would be delivered via a network of tubes and excrement would be removed in the same way. This technique could achieve a density of around 11.7 chickens per cubic metre instead of the current 3.2 chickens achieved in broiler houses.

A challenge for Ford’s system would be the lack of muscular stimulation. However, Ford proposes using electric shocks similar to that used in other lab meat experiments.

Ford argues that his solution is no more shocking than existing food production techniques. “The realities of the existing systems of production are just as shocking,” he told Wired.co.uk, “but they are hidden behind the sentimental guise of traditional farming scenes that we as consumers hold in our minds and see on our food packaging.”
