Slow Digestion of a Cannibal Count

Slow Digestion of a Cannibal Count is a bioreactor where yeast ferments a sugar replica of Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux’s Ugolino and His Sons. As the sugar depletes, the yeast consumes its own ethanol waste, mirroring a death-driven filial cannibalism. Count Ugolino, condemned in Dante’s Inferno for being forced to devour his kin, becomes an allegory for metabolic collapse. This biological loop is echoed in a generative AI video depicting his eternal punishment as it is mentioned in Dante’s Inferno.
