This interactive artwork has a compelling relationship with Marshall McLuhan’s notion of “tools as extensions of our senses.” The question arises, then, what senses do our tools extend, and what reactions do they provoke? The phone acts as an extension of our voice and our mouth, and the particular sex toy used in this installation is meant to mimic the tongue to provide sexual pleasure. In a sense both tools in this artwork are capable of doing such. This artwork echoes Work to Text and general Barthian analysis by exploring interactivity as a means of engagement and active readership. This artwork concerns itself with the methodology of seduction. In fact, the artwork operates backwards to what is perceived as the normal model: a word being used to control the tongue muscle is the reverse of what is physically happening. Perhaps this piece is more reflective of the elements of desire at play.
