404: TONGUE NOT FOUND presents a square formation of mechanical units, each bearing a silicone tongue that licks an acrylic panel in erratic yet synchronised patterns. A residue of gel, mimicking saliva, accumulates on the surface that marking the site of futile contact and amplifying the tension between intimacy and failure.
This kinetic installation probes the boundary between control and chaos, agency and automation. The tongues lick forwards and backwards in a loop with no resolution, evoking a condition of being perpetually online: endlessly responsive, yet fundamentally disconnected.
