Germaine Koh

In an accessible public place sits a telephone resembling those used to make automatic calls to service centres. Instead of a keypad the phone has an LCD that informs the viewer that when he picks up the receiver he will be connected with a participant. Each time the handset is lifted, the phone randomly dials from its database the telephone number of one of the number of project participants who have agreed to receive calls from and have conversations with strangers at all hours of the day. These volunteer participants, from a wide variety of backgrounds and communities, will have been solicited through a variety of local media and means. The interactions are not recorded or otherwise determined in any way.
