Mobile City
As if we were alone
Empfangshalle (Corbinian Böhm, Michael Gruber, DE)
The artistic duo Empfangshalle has conducted research on the behavior of cell phone users. Their actions/performances staged to achieve specific effects and reactions visualize the new spaces and gestures engendered while cell phone users are on the line.
Having come to the realization that “Whoever uses his cell phone in public disassociates himself from his surroundings via real or virtual spaces,” the artists formulated and constructed prototypes of “mobile telephoning spaces” that will be offered in conjunction with a worldwide telephone service. The project will be carried out at several locations in downtown Linz. An infostation with details about As if we were alone will be set up in the Brucknerhaus.
