| Ben Rubin 917: A code without an area |
Created in collaboration with David Pence and Coco McPhereson, sound artist Ben Rubin creates a social telephone space that art fair visitors enter via their cell phones. By calling a local number
(available in Creative Time's Cellular Lounge), visitors will find themselves connected to each other within an audio bridge. "917" superimposes the anonymous, placeless encounter of a "chat" line into an actual place: the art fair and the surrounding neighborhood. |
