Milk: Make Your Own Mind Up
Is the reality of dairy consistent with what the industry tries to convey? Well... make your own mind up.

waiting_for_cows explores the complex relationship between humans, animals and technology. Set on a Frisian farm, the main protagonists are a trio of Dutch dairy cows monitored by wearables, conditioned by algorithms and quantified in data. Dairy bovines and their farmers have become some of the unlikely forerunners of agricultural automation. Both human and animal are entangled in systems of efficiency, productivity and time management where every cow is assigned a Key Performance Indicator by agri-tech companies. Through a data-led film experience, waiting_for_cows offers rare glimpses into contemporary machinic rituals of farm life where the flow of bovine data reveals much larger systems of power. Set against this backdrop of technology and control, the waiting_for_cows immersive installation reveals an allegorical tale, opening space for reflection.

Otis is a mischievous, carefree Holstein cow who lives on a farm where, unbeknownst to humans, the animals are anthropomorphic.

This annoys his stern adoptive father Ben, the leader of the farm's community.
