Phone Explosion

Posted by Cefn on 06 February 2006 | 0 Comments

Here’s a pic of just a few of the phones which just arrived for the pipedreams exhibit as per the plan I hatched when I was in the states.

And here’s the rest of them. 16 in all.

I’ve rigged the other half on a bit of the springthing rubber to get an idea of the dimensions and the look of the thing.

Still very keen on the aluminium ceiling grid idea, and spoke to a supplier today who’s happy to help make things safe. Might not be all that expensive - especially if I can get second hand. No source of this material yet.

The other idea knocking around is just weaving a kind of web or grid out of phone wire. Not so keen on this, but it might be made to work.

Lastly one of my housemates (when I showed him the demo) pointed out that BT did something involving pipes you speak into for the Dome. This is news to me, and I couldn’t google it, but if anyone knows more…
