satirical surrealism
A surreal, hyper-realistic digital artwork of a human female with a cracked eggshell as the top of her head, revealing a raw egg yolk and egg white spilling down her face. The woman’s facial expression is introspective and solemn, with piercing blue eyes gazing upward. The egg yolk is glossy, vibrant orange, and the egg white drips realistically down her face, emphasizing texture and gravity. The background is a clean, soft gradient to keep the focus on the figure. The lighting highlights the contours of the woman’s face and the translucency of the egg elements, creating a visually striking blend of realism and surrealism.
The question (ala Pulp Fiction or Blade Runner) is it moral to eat a pig but not a dog, transposes quickly to -> if you can eat an animal, can you eat a human -> can you eat a baby?
This image serves as a reminder to carnivoires that the meat industry kills animals at far earlier age than their life expectancy. Pigs are killed for bacon at sixmonths, but would otherwise live for around twenty years.
Can you drink the body fluids of any animal? Is it moral right to remove a baby from its mother and use her milk to feed another baby?
Veal is the meat of young calves, removed and underfed and killed at a few weeks old. Its production raises ethical questions about animal welfare and the treatment of mother cows.
Surrealism is defined as the principles, ideals, or practice of producing fantastic or incongruous imagery or effects in art, literature, film, or theater through unnatural or irrational juxtapositions and combinations. It is an art and cultural movement that developed in Europe after World War I, aiming to allow the unconscious mind to express itself, often resulting in illogical or dreamlike scenes. Surrealism questions conventional conceptions of reality and has significantly influenced various art forms.
Diffusion Modles with hyper realism makes the message ever more striking.
If you can eat the foetus of bird, why not the foetus a human or the flesh of a very young animal. Is it moral to drink the milk of an animal and kill its baby as a bi product?
Is it moral to eat young fish or fish eggs?
I thought long about this shocking image thrown up by the diffusion model. I decided to publish it as it is an example of the ability of diffusion AI to create unintended imagery. This struck home to me the cruelty of the poulty and egg industry with imagery that I would not have been able to imagine on my own.
Ovo-vegetarian is the general term for a person who follows a plant-based diet but eats eggs of any kind (conventional, cage free, free range, pasture raised) in any form (baked goods, restaurant omelets, etc), without regard to where and how they were produced. The rational is usually centred around the idea that the egg is not concious, but offers little compensation to the mother that must absorb the lost of her reproduction, and is herself killed at an early age if she fails to lay. The worst of this is the incineration of day old males who will not lay.
