SMS Graffiti
“Using ‘always on’ technology, cell phones with SMS allow an audience to interact with public space through projections on the structures that surround them”.
“The Speech bubbles are positioned near windows and doors to encourage an audience to create the conversations happening inside. The person receives a flyer with a cell number and simple instructions. That participant then sends a text message to the provided number, that text it is then displayed inside the speech bubble. Multiple bubbles may be used and the audience can direct their input to a specific bubble.
The piece explores the use of mobile technology to trigger dialogue, action and create content for a staged public performance.By using the facade of a building the intention is to engage an audience to think about the physical spaces we move through, live in and share. This piece trys to address public vs. private space and what kind of dialogue might transpire if we shared out private thoughts. The piece was designed to encourage play, idea sharing, thought, discourse, and entertainment”.
