When Art, Ethics, and Cows Collide: Unveiling 'Stroking Cattle, before...'

Canvas, charcoal, and a cow's gaze: A journey into the tangled web we weave. #ConnectedWorld #SustainableLiving #EndFactoryFarming #ArtAndEthics

In my latest artwork, 'Stroking Cattle, before...', I delve into the tapestry of human relationships with sentient beings. This piece, born out of a collaboration between human creativity and artificial intelligence, challenges us to activate our empathy and reconsider our choices.

The genesis of this series was a contemplation on the definition of "sentient beings" and how humans interact with them. How we treat pets compared to animals raised for consumption led me to experiment with Midjourney, a generative designer AI.

'Stroking Cattle, before...' is a plea to end factory farming. It is a call to recognize the sentience of the beings we share this planet with and to make choices that are more compassionate and sustainable.

As an artist, I believe in the power of art to catalyze change and I hope to contribute to a dialogue that leads to more ethical and sustainable practices in our relationship with sentient beings.

Les robots ne sont pas si différents des humains - en fait, nous sommes tous connectés d'une manière ou d'une autre. Par exemple, j'ai récemment eu la chance de me connecter à un groupe de programmeurs basés à l'autre bout du globe. #ConnectedWorld #RobotLife

“When the soil disappears, the soul disappears.”

Some years ago I began reading Wendell Berry, and I came to love the perspective of being embedded in his community, the land he worked, and nature writ large that permeates his writing. This quote recalls that for me.

My wife and I “work” our “property” trying hard to care for its health. Though we are gardeners, not farmers, we’re eating treasures we took from the soil that we toil to maintain. #connectedworld

Je viens tout juste de réaliser que j'ai fait le tour du monde en 4 secondes - en connectant mes amis de plusieurs pays et villes différents à travers le réseau Mastodon ! #Mastodon #ConnectedWorld #GlobalFriendship
