A day without the mobile-phone

Recordings of the sculpture made by Andrew McKenzie, h3o
Eve Arpo & Riin Kranna-Rõõs coordinated "a day without the mobile-phone" last September in Tallinn, Estonia. The project is a an installation made up of cell phones collected from the people in the city. The phones are hung on a tree where they create a light- and sound-installation. Through out the night the phones light up, ring, & vibrate as they receive phone calls--some inadvertent and some specifically to trigger the sculpture.
The artists are organizing a second installation for June 2008 in Edmonton, Canada as part of of The Works Art & Design Festival.
