Cell Phone Sculptures by Joe McKay

http://homepage.mac.com/joester5/art/

LOSS OF SIGNAL

vertexList space 9/7-9/8/2007
from the expo's write-up:

Cell phones are contentious little machines. We depend on them to contact our loved ones, or the tow truck. But we hate them too. They make us look silly when they ring during a movie or an artist talk. We both love and resent how connected they make us to everyone else with a cell phone.

So the day you get a new cell phone is a complicated one. The new phone has bells and whistles and good reception – it is without a doubt a "better" phone. But what happens to the object you kept in your pocket all those months, the little machine that vibrated against your thigh and played Santana when your best friend was calling? Do you drive it to Circuit City and toss it into their cell phone recycling bin, telling yourself that you were uneasy about discarding your phone for environmental reasons, and not emotional ones? Or do you leave it in your junk drawer next to your very first cell phone, which still produces a tinge of guilt.The cell phone sculptures give these old phones a second life. Torn apart and recontextualized – they perform new functions. A dog-chewed phone gets to show off its beautiful broken display. Two flip phones become telegraph sounders. Four phones combine to make a musical keyboard. And so on.

Joe McKay is an artist/hacker who makes work with and about digital culture. McKay grew up in Ontario, Canada and got his MFA from UC Berkeley. In 2001 McKay participated of the Whitney Independent Study Program and had a two-person collaborative exhibition with Kristin Lucas titled "The Electric Donut". In 2004 Joe had his first solo show at VertexList in Williamsburg, New York. He has shown his work in the Berkshire museum, the National Gallery of Canada, the ICA in San Jose, the Pacific Film Archive, and the New Museum.

FW: 4 bad skinny phones (Bob Marcacci)

text me


i like e-sex
lonely in low living-room light
  tapping my alphanumeric flex
on my couch at any hour
  i touch myself and my cell
and i know well you are
  awaiting me in your new message hell
   a veritable swell in cyberspace

we send our words in cellular simultaneity


  mine vibrates upon arrival
    i wonder what yours does
       in my blue-green LCD infatuation
 i'm tuned in to your e-station
     i wait for your text to come and i go
       all e-dumb
 for what's next

Very good.  Has anyone written a poem yet about how cell phones have eliminated the idea of privacy inasmuch as, at least in a large city, one hears people's private lives spilled out into the air as they walk down the street talking on these devices?  By the way, what is a "naira"?  It is a word I haven't encountered before.  Regards, Tom Savage

At last we've got the talk

The talk raging after the talker

Streetways, or hidden lovetones

At last a dumb country is talking

 

Talkshops, and your naira burns

Aims, teas, envelops of dread

When the passions are loudest

 

At last, we're not the least

In the chinamart

Of booming wirelessness

We glow that we don't grow techs, demobilized

By the mobile shout

Networks & teleshouts

An ancient town is learning

A new witchcraft in pointing voices

Without pointing hands

 

Phonetics without phone ethics

The pleasure of getting & forgetting

Where you are

Who you are

What you are

So the talk unwraps you to the world

CELLULAR WRYTING INIT

CELLULAR WRYTING

is a continuing non-edited, non-supervised flow of writing in the Public Domain on one subject: the Cell Phone or Mobile Phone. It’s an experiment in minimal collaborative writing using public software.

It is called Cellular Writing because it is about cell phones and because it started off in the WVU Wryting-L mailing-list on writing and theory of writing, as a discussion on the subject.

It is on Cell Phones because it is called Cellular Wryting.

From there it came to you, now, and you can do some cellular writing too.

Here’s the INIT:

• There’s a collage of sorts of fragments and pomes at http://www.vilt.net/nkdee/cellular_wryting.jsp.
  
• there’s a blog at http://cellularwryting.blogspot.com/ that you can contribute to just by sending e-mail to it, see http://www.vilt.net/nkdee/cellular_wryting.jsp#contribute for how that works
• writing can be anything. Text, poems, movies, sounds, whatever. Up here, it’s all just code anyway. So you can send in anything that gets through the Blogger interface. Most of the time, I’d prefer your things to be beautiful, interesting, well crafted and above all, poetical, but who am i?
• you can use the blog’s contents as an RSS feed on your own websites/blogs, there’s a code snippet at the end of this mail that you can use for that purpose, or you can ‘Burn’ and customize your own feed at www.feedburner.com (yep that’s bought by our lovely EGOLOG too). The Cathedral file’s just an example of how to do that, encouraging you to do that, so why don’t you do that?
• please edit this text as you see fit and sent it out to where and whom you see fit. Whatever you do, do not post the email address (see image file on the Cathedral file) of the blog to a public file. The spam might stop the flow, then, and there’s no reason for that to happen, is there?

Let there be writing.
