![]() ![]() The Pink Chicken Project is a story to build other stories on a speculative stirring that ties together multiple interlocking systems of ecological and social crisis. With the power of the Gene Drive technique, the traces of humanity is no longer in the hands of Monsanto and Dupont, the radiation of nuclear bombs or the oil spills of Exxon Mobil, but also in yours. Sent in hope that you have re-imagined us as a biological organism, joined in symbiosis with each other and the planet.” ![]() We urge you to fight this oppression: for it enables and aggravates the anthropocentric violence forced upon the non-human world. The current devastation of the planet is not the result of activities undertaken by the whole species Homo Sapiens: instead it derives from a small group of humans in power, upheld by the injustices of white supremacy, colonialism, patriarchy, heterosexism and ableism. “ We the humans of planet earth, write this message at the beginning of the Anthropocene. The pink chicken carries a message in it’s DNA, encoded into As, Ts, Gs, and Cs, a time capsule readable for thousands of years: This devastation will leave traces in the rock strata for geologists of the future: such as plastic pollution, soot from power stations, nuclear fallout, and surprisingly, the fossilized bones of the global proliferation of the domestic chicken. The stability of the biosphere is threatened, with an uncomfortably high probability of an uninhabitable planet within the next century. Human actions have altered the Earth so profoundly that we have entered a new geological epoch - the Anthropocene. Lying somewhere between utopia and dystopia, the project attempts to redirect focus to the underlying ethical and political issues The pink chicken DNA also carries an encoded message that calls for an ecological discourse that must include issues of social justice, in order to achieve the radical restructuring of society needed to break the death grip of the sixth extinction. Pink is a symbolic color, an opposition to the current global power dynamics, that enable and aggravate the anthropocentric violence forced upon the non-human world. Thereby modifying the future fossil record, colouring the geological trace of humankind, pink! Spreading this gene with the recently invented Gene Drive technique, the species could be permanently altered, on a global scale, in just a few years. To re-occupy this identifier of our age, the project suggests genetically modifying a chicken with pink bones and feathers, using a gene from the insect cochineal to produce a pigment that will be fossilized when combined with the calcium of the bone. ![]() Click here to email me.Pink Chicken Project suggests using a “Gene Drive” to change the colour of the entire species Gallus gallus Domesticus to pink.īeing the world's most common bird, the bones of the 60 billion chickens that are killed every year leave a distinct trace in the rock strata (the earth's crust), a marker for the new geological age - the Anthropocene.
