The name on the tip of the tongue
highlights cryptography and numbers as basic aspectsof contemporary
life that remain under the surface of its design. It isinspired by two
numeric decomposition problems: RSA, one of the first public key
cryptographic system, which is based on the challenge to decompose a
very large number in two prime factors; and Goldbach’s conjecture,
which proposed that any even number greater than two can be written as
the sum of two prime numbers. Through calculation and drawing, The name
on the tip of the tongue is a spatial investigation into structures of
organisation. It makes reference to the first list of prime numbers and
factors up to the number 144,000, written by Anton Felkel in 1776.
