Mobile Phone Abusers Anonymous takes a critical look at how mobile phones have influenced social behaviour.
The Cactus Phone has had the buttons on its keypad replaced with razor-sharp needles. On the surface, it may be seen as a masochistic fetish object or designed to prevent its use. Calls can become more meaningful when the other knows you are enduring physical pain to talk to them.
Phish Phone forces one to make short, concise phone calls: the temperature in the tank in which it ‘swims’ rises one degree per minute spent on the mobile.
Tru:th has a breathalyzer attached: you can only make calls when you are drunk.
Rosary reflects on our "faith" in technology, and in communicating with the unseen, in this case - God. The screen of the mobile displays the progress of "prayer".
