Part organic farm, part BDSM dungeon, part biotech corporation, the pFARM is in Woodstock, NY since the early 2000s. The pasture-raised, mutagenic brain-child of bio-artist Adam Zaretsky and his collaborators, the power Farm or pFarm synergizes the power dynamics (and massages the ethical boundaries) of the Fetish Organic Biotech. The pFarmers pursue various lines of experimental research: producing hormonally elevated dominas, isolating the human gene for submissiveness, and of course bringing their Unconvention Organic GMOs from lab bench to medical bedside. Laughably implausible attempts to mix Green Movement Grassroots Agriculture, High Tech GMO Pharming and unabashed Sado-Masochistic fetish retrainings, pFarm is an erotically charged cinematic experiment in post-human vivocentrism.
