Why? Where? How?
Mobile phones have moved beyond being a mere technical device to become a key ‘social object’ present in every aspect of a users life. With the advent of anywhere, anytime mobile technologies, the sense of belonging to a place may slowly be giving way to a sense of belonging to a communications network. They are redefining what is deemed as public and private space and changing dramatically how we communicate with others. The latest phones now have an array of features for every taste, religion and gender. From in-built compasses to detect the direction of Mecca, ovulation monitors to help women conceive and the ability to listen to calls inside ones head through the conducting of sound through bone, mobile phones are undoubtedly the fetish of the century.Mobile Dream Telling occurs both as an impromptu performance and as a commissioned work.
