Due to the many positive responses about our project we decided to leave the booth where it is right now for the time being. We already gathered the necessary permissions. Additionally we are thinking about the future utilization of the project. Any ideas are very much welcome.

On Thursday we finally set up our telephone booth on the Nibelungenbrücke. Around 4 p.m. our transportation showed up to convey the booth to the bridge. Our colleagues Tim, Jamey, Bager, Hugo and Hugo helped us to position the booth on its final place and to avoid a traffic jam.

Following is a gallery of that day.

Before we set up our telephone booth at the end of this week we scouted the area. Positioning the telephone booth on the Nibelungenbrücke (Nibelungen-bridge) is very promising regarding attention. However, this place is dodgy as you do not have a direct power connection, the floor is not exactly horizontal, the floor tiles ought not be damaged, the flow of traffic may not be hindered, mounting and dismounting have to happen after rush hour and you have to get a plethora of permits beforehand.

After a long phase of preparation – finding sponsorship and gathering permits – we finally entered the project’s stage of production. Last week we picked up our phone booth. Clean up and putting some custom made operation instructions are next.

Additionally we removed the electronics of the pay phone and soldered an TRS connector to the receiver. To boost the reciever’s volume output we used a small amplifier.

All in all things are going well so far. read more… »


Tonaufnahmen

At the end of May we had our sound recording session. We recorded exclusively reports of public racist incidents. In 3 days with the support of 16 volunteers we recorded almost 70 stories, which date back into the years 2001 to 2009. The reports were sponsored kindly by the anti-racism organisation ZARA from Vienna. From August 30 to September 11 you can listen to the stories inside the telephone booth once it rings. read more… »
