Pig’s Sky, Pig’s Happiness



In 2020, Neuralink used pigs as demonstration animals for brain-computer interfaces. If animals are conscious, can humans understand them? How do humans respond to animals' sense of autonomy? In the future, is it ethical to use invasive brain-computer interfaces to manipulate animal consciousness as a way to ensure that animals are "happy"?

The project crafts a narrative of human efforts to change "pigs can't see the sky throughout their lives," which is a popular view on the Internet in recent years.  This fictional history includes spacecraft, balloons, Blue and white dyed feed, wearable devices with mirrors and a sky-seeing Brain-computer interface. It aims to discuss whether the pursuit of animal rights and welfare, which seems to bring happiness to them, is out of humans' selfish will? Or is it an insurmountable hypocrisy?

It consists of five installations, one of which is interactive, and a narrative video to convey the story.
