Critical Design Research

Thomas Thwaites makes objects as a means to explore the psychological and social impacts of technology. His research and making process is often woven into a story, told through live performance-lectures, books, video and installation.

Thwaites’ first book, The Toaster Project, is about his attempt to make an electric toaster from scratch and his TED talk about the Toaster Project is online. His second book, GoatMan, is about his project to take a holiday from being human by becoming a goat.
