This sound object, developed in collaboration with Companhia de Música Teatral in 2024, plays a story when you lift the handset. Designed for the installation Mural da História Comum, part of the Big Bang festival at Centro Cultural de Belém, the object was programmed to play a specific audio in the installation, activated by lifting the headset. However, its programming allows dialling disc to select between different audios if necessary.
The object retains the original structure of the telephone, integrating an Arduino into the electronic system to allow listening via the original handset.
