Arguably, they have farmed us particularly well (2021)

Media: Trackball, web and open source code, video, audio, fence posts

An interactive artwork about touch, reaction and behaviour, and our illusions of power through technology.

This artwork is made up of three interaction touch points that connect to a video screen showing a sped-up video of a sheep-filled landscape, and a single animated critter made from a drawing of a sheep.

The piece was made on residency at Leitrim Sculpture Centre, Manorhamilton, Ireland (June-August 2021) and presented at the solo exhibition "Detached Touch" (August 13th-September 4th 2021). The residency and exhibition were supported by Leitrim Sculpture Centre, Wicklow Arts Office and the Arts Council of Ireland. The research preceding this work was developed as artist in residence on FIELD, a 6-university interdisciplinary project investigating the relationship between human and livestock through disease.
