Web Project

2020

Tongue The Sun draws attention to the materiality of our body’s ecosystem via an online web project comprising an interactive digital sculpture, live avatar essay reading, and NFT set.

Supported by the Irish Arts Council COVID Response award, this project aims to reach a public under lockdown, when our biology, in all its fragility, has taken priority over global trade, party-politics, and identity divisions that characterize our time. By reinterpreting how evolutionary forces undermine stability in modern life, this project invites us to consider the world through a lens that disrupts heteronormative categorisations, redefining organisms, species, and individuals’ value and identity classifications.

Supported by The Arts Council of Ireland  / An Chomhairle Ealaíon and NCAD Gallery.
