This piece was part of a joint exhibition I put on in
Leicester, i had set up a collaborative project on the internet,
asking people if they would respond, in any audio based way to a
simple task that I set. To respond to a word that had a meaning
for them, when they flicked through a piece of literature. I
wanted no input over the outcome or what they did, it was
completely in their hands. |
| Talking to people who had responded to my task, the
experience for them turned into a sort of confessional, where
their responses were highly personal. I wanted a way of showing
the intimate nature but also this continued element of
communication and exchange of universal but unique experiences. |

I choose the mobile phone for the sounds to come out of, so
that you had to physically pick up the phone out of it's stand
to fully hear the response. Due to our associations with the
phone most of the time when we use one, we know the person we
are talking to.Giving the feeling that we are directly connected
to the person on the other end, but with the added element that
we are glimpsing into someone else's life. When you enter the
space you are bombarded with a pletra of sounds but our
curiosity draws us in, to pick up the phones, to tune into
someone else's life, we cannot resist to interact. |
