Life is subject to forces outside itself, subject always to an end, and sometimes a sudden end. As dependent creatures, we take our chances against nature's remote and uncaring forces. To convey this brutal, glorious, and constant narrative, Goatsilk weaves the living products of culture into their own aesthetic. TV evangelists, coarse video game animation, terrorism, mouse traps, gothic myth, electricity, religion, amusement park thrills, animalism, poetic militarism, and viral videos are some of the themes we use to expose and celebrate the vital spaces between raw nature and refined technology, isolation and kinship, and between human empathy and indifference.
