It is time we strap on our auxiliary organs, create space for new kinds of intimacy, find out what it could mean to be human.
A Cryptanalysis of the Foreign Body Language is a performative piece in which audiences are invited to wear a head restraint which incorporates a tongue circuit board that enables them to feel the artist's physiological or emotional changes as electrical stimulation patterns on their tongue. Akin to learning a new language, the brain could be trained to recognize these patterns as meaningful information, such as pain, arousal, excitement.
