Grow Finish Unit (Eva, Oklahoma)
A continuous, photorealistic simulation unfolds across a plasma screen, depicting an industrial hog farming facility in Eva, Oklahoma, rendered in real time using sophisticated 3-D software. The work runs on a virtual clock synchronized to the actual location, meaning the light, shadows, and atmosphere shift in precise correspondence with the passage of time at that specific site. Mounted within a sleek Corian frame and console, the piece implicates architecture, agriculture, and technology in a quietly unsettling portrait of contemporary food production.
