In this work, Thomas Thwaites tried to become a goat to escape the angst inherent in being a human. The project became an exploration of how close modern technology can take us to fulfilling an ancient human dream: to take on characteristics from other animals. But instead of the ferocity of a bear, or the perspective of a bird, the characteristic most useful in modern life is perhaps something else: being present in the moment. In the Alps, on four legs, at a goat farm, eating grass, with a prosthetic rumen strapped to his chest, Thwaites became a goat.
