Parco Studio in partnership withDiD Studio and the collaboration of Noura Tafeche, visual artist, present a conversation with Bani Brusadin and an introduction to his workshop, The Blockchain Chicken Factory – a creative experiment disguised as a role play game. It will take place at DiD Studio, Fabbrica del Vapore, Milan.

The 21st century is a roller coaster of creeping low-intensity crises and seemingly sudden environmental, economic and social disasters. In a maze of twists and turns, the most outrageous concentration of wealth ever seen coexists happily with colorful gadgets that stimulate us as if there were no tomorrow.

Precisely, will there be a tomorrow?

The Blockchain Chicken Factory is an exercise in imagination about the planet we live on, understood as a great calculating machine, a multiplayer intelligence driven by chemical, cultural, technological and geopolitical forces.

The title of the workshop is an homage to Xiaowei Wang’s book, Blockchain Chicken Farm And Other Stories of Tech in China’s Countryside (2020). Although the themes and objectives are quite different, the book is extraordinary and highly recommended!
