"Recognizing you are living amidst a herd of genetically modified
horses, is like dwelling in a mentally starved civilisation,
engineering a perpetual societal Armageddon, based on the non-
existence of God until scientifically proven otherwise"

"May the horse live in me"
Interesting experiment, interesting storytelling, but far beyond
reality
"She explained to Centre Press that the whole process made her feel
“hyper-powerful, hyper-sensitive and hyper-nervous.” She added:
“I had a feeling of being superhuman. I was not normal in my body. I
had all of the emotions of a herbivore. I couldn’t sleep and I felt
a little bit like a horse.”"
Interpretation, wishful thinking - bullshit.
Anyone who had medical tests done in an hospital to check out the
heart and who has been injected with chemicals knows it needs little
(these chemicals) to make you feel a completely different person.
(anxious, calm, nervous etc)
Chemicals have a deep impact on our being (all drug users know this
too), feelings, experiences of ourselves, so it's no wonder horse
proteins make you feel changed, anything would.
I like the experiment, the discussion it triggers, but I abhor the
biased language used by these artists. In my opinion it doesn't take
science serious, only uses it for something else.
Yours

Oh I was going to post that later. :-)
I wish I knew enough immunobiology and medical ethics to be able to
evaluate the reality of it a bit better...
