VICE pairs mannequin head with factory farm trauma for maximum vibes
VICE discovered that pairing serious whistleblower testimony about animal agriculture atrocities with an eerie, featureless white mannequin and a play button creates peak dystopian engagement energy. Someone at the editorial desk decided the horrors of factory farming needed an unsettling, creepy aesthetic wrapper to drive clicks, achieving a beautiful collision of genuine ethical concern and pure creepy-for-creepy's-sake visual design. It's the kind of content that makes you feel gross for engaging with it while simultaneously unable to look away.
