It explores precision livestock farming, surveillance, exploitation, and our relationship with nature and technology.\r\n\r\nModern dairy farms, shaped by computer vision, AI, and robotics, function as a digital panopticon. Cows are continuously monitored and can move freely but remain within a closed system designed to maximize and quantify their exploitation. Each cow is reduced to a measurable entity within a technological infrastructure that tracks every aspect of its existence.\r\n\r\nThe project translates cows and their environment into the virtual realm using photogrammetry, a 3D scanning technique. The resulting \u00bbinformation clouds\u00ab give the images a painterly aesthetic, reflecting a romanticized, data-driven landscape where animals and technology increasingly converge.\r\n\r\nThe work is complemented by sculptural salt licks, which cows shape as they consume them for nutritional supplements. These organic, anomalous forms symbolize resistance against the reduction of living beings to mere parameters in an economic system."},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_txt","bgcolor":"has-bg-yellow","bgcolor_custom":"","layout_col_size":12,"txt_cols":"is-1-txtcol","txt":"D\u00e1niel Szalai (born 1991) is a Hungarian photographer and visual artist whose work explores the relationships between humans and animals, reflecting on sociopolitical and ecological issues.
