The Cosmopolitan Chicken Project / Koen Vanmechelen (BE)
The Cosmopolitan Chicken Project (CCP) by Koen Vanmechelen (BE) is a Worldwide cross--breeding program with chicken breeds from different countries which Koen Vanmechelen started in 1999. In the CCP, art And science merge. The chicken is much more than a domesticated animal, it is art in itself, a metaphor for humanity and social processes, especially bio and cultural diversity. The Cosmopolitan Chicken Project received the Golden Nica in the category Hybrid Art at the Prix Ars Electronica 2013.
