[via The New York Times] July 25, 2011Astrid Phone makes you engage your whole body
Astrid is a new kind of mobile phone, created by artist group You Must Relax from Tallinn, Estonia. The phone, which is over two meters high, is currently located in the foyer of KUMU Art Museum in Tallinn and available for visitors to make phone-calls. Because of its size the phone has lost the essential characteristics of a mobile phone - mobility and intimacy. When visitors use the device, they have to engage their entire bodies to push the buttons and talk into the microphone. Watch a video of Astrid.
This is what one visitor told us about Astrid: “We went to KUMU to make phone calls with Astrid. Kids were excited and a security guard amused, when he heard what my kids were talking about with grand mother. I was embarrassed – all the people at the lobby heardeverything! Grandma did not understand a thing and the audience was amused.” This artwork is currently part of an international exhibition Gateways. July 24, 2011Visualizing SMS messages using paper airplanes

If a work of art could talk, what would it say? Right now visitors at the Göteborg Museum of Art are encouraged to give voice to selected works of art in the interactive installing "Talking Art". Upon entering the museum, the visitor downloads an application on his mobile phone. The phone then acts as a tour guide to the works, giving background information. At given intervals, the visitor is asked to interpret a work of art by sending a text from his cell phone to a physical sign equipped with a LED display. The "Talking Art" exhibition consists of three themes that are running in series; "Power & Beauty", "Love & Horror" and "Art History 2." The participants answers and commentaries are saved in a database, and there are plans to create a exhibition summarizing them after "Talking Art" is concluded. The exhibition opened in January, runs through the summer. [via milk.se and e-mail press release.] May 4, 2010UNLIMITXT: Photographer Explores Global Texting Behaviors

Dylan Mortimer'sPublic Prayer Booth is a synthesis of a telephone booth and a prayer station. The viewer can flip down a kneeler and engage in prayer. “My goal is to spark dialogue about a topic often avoided, and often treated cynically by the contemporary art world,” says Mortimer. “I employ the visual language of signage and public information systems, using them as a contemporary form of older religious communication systems: stained glass, illuminated manuscripts, church furniture, etc. I balance humor and seriousness, sarcasm and sincerity, in a way that bridges a subject matter that is often presented as heavy or difficult.” October 16, 2008Improvisation for Two Altered Telephones
The publication, edited by Nicolaj Kirisits, Frauke Behrendt, Lalya Gaye and Atau Tanaka, celebrates 5 years of Mobile Music Workshop.
