By putting dairy cows on twitter, Teat Tweet explores how contemporary technology changes our idea of the pastoral farm and the history of pastoral aesthetics. This is a collaboration with Marcel O'Gorman's Critical Media Lab.
The cows are now able to literally milk themselves at all times, day and night, and the farmer is now primarily an information manager. As an intervention into this process, O'Gorman and Broglio sought to develop a mobile application in the Critical Media Lab that would allow the farmer to regain intimacy with his cows, and allow anyone at all to learn more about where their milk comes from.
