Project Location: Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, inPublic Festival, Boston Nature Center Sounding the Planet Event
2022 - Present
Community Voices Phone has been installed at Cyber Arts Gallery, the Boston Nature Center, and at Downtown Crossing for inPUBLIC Festival. This interactive technology allows visitors to pick up the phone and hear voices speak about various themes.The phone has hosted collected audio about the themes of belonging, care, and play. The audio was collected through voicemail projects that I curated in 2021 and 2022. The Community Voices Phone was created with the help of Fred Wolflink at MassArt in 2022.
