When you pick up Telephone's receiver, you will be asked a question. You have ten seconds to give your answer. All responses are recorded and automatically remixed into audio poems. Telephone gives you a prompt with private intimacy but frames your response as public: others may overhear, and the audio poems are uploaded online. It is at once secret, personal, social, and very visible.

Telephone was commissioned by Now Play This for the 10 Second Room.
