Abstract

This project, My Screaming – Music to Your Ears, shifts to protest art to expose the brutality of industrial animal farming and challenge anthropocentric hierarchies. Through a soundscape processed in Audacity, familiar farm sounds gradually transform into unsettling, manipulated recordings of slaughterhouses, prompting listeners to reconsider human superiority and animal consciousness. Inspired by Teresa Margolles’ subtle protest art, the audio culminates in a supermarket setting, reflecting society’s desensitization. The project urges listeners to empathize with non-human suffering and reflect on their complicity as consumers in an overconsuming, power-driven world.
