Telephoneboxing

The smaller the telephone gets, the easier it is to communicate, anytime, anywhere, with anyone. reBlogged from WMMNA.

"Telephone Boxing, by Allard Roeterink, turns the simple everyday action of making a phone call into a hard-work physical process.

In a 20ft container, 10 boxing ball-like buttons are attached to the walls. In order to make a phone call, one puts on boxing gloves and hits the buttons to dial a number.

When a connection is made, one has to stand in one specific spot and speak loudly to be heard. The answer can be heard on a spot a few meters further into the container.

The calling person will automatically adjust the level of communication to his or her eagerness to talk and/or to his or her physical condition."
