John Gerrard

Sow Farm (Near Libbey, Oklahoma)

"Sow Farm (Near Libbey, Oklahoma)" by John Gerrard is a hauntingly realistic simulation depicting an industrial pig farming facility set against the flat, expansive landscape of rural Oklahoma. The work presents a perpetual, algorithmically driven rendering that unfolds in real time, mirroring the actual cycles of day and night at the geographic location it depicts. Through its meticulous detail and relentless temporal accuracy, Gerrard's piece invites reflection on the hidden realities of modern industrial agriculture and its relationship to land and labor.
