For a Good Time Call
An interactive public phone-who will you call?
A playful homage to the last public payphone in New York City (which was removed earlier this year), this work aims to breathe life and humor into a dying interaction mode: the touch-tone telephone. Each number is a new experience inspired by the oddities and multiplicities of experiences in public space. Call a number to connect with angry cats, stories of missed connections, private voicemails made public, and more!
