Content Description

How it works:
A real electric fence is set up in front of the projection of cows strolling across the field. If the user touches the fence and receives a shock this is measured by a sensor and causes the visuals to change.

COWSinTHEfield was possible thanks to the patient help with measuring impulses from Laurent Mignonneau, the loan of a High Voltage Probe from LeCroy Austria and for the use of Austrian landscape photography thanks to Flickr users and my family.
