technocow

Cowboard™ is a project that is in the traveling exhibition called Wonderful: Visions of the Near Future. "CowBoard™ is a prototype controller device that enables cows to access the Internet. The work addresses the notion that British cattle are undervalued, vulnerable and in desperate need of collective empowerment. Dedomenici suggests that the cow is the most technologically integrated of all farmyard animals because modern intensive agriculture, particularly dairy farming, has acted as a catalyst in the cow's evolutionary tolerance and understanding of technology."
