This is the Urban Speaker : a smartphone attached to a loud loudspeaker system attach to a dealings house . Tomorrow , when it goes live in NYC , you ’ll be able to call it up and announce whatever ’s on your mind . I smell mischief !
Is your icebox running ?
Yes …
Then you well go catch it !
That ’s mirthful when you do it to one soul . It ’s HILARIOUS when you do it to an integral neighborhood . Just imagine all those icebox literally running out . OK , ok , maybe I call for to expend a niggling more time fine tuning my telephonic prankery , but I ca n’t see how the Urban Speaker , an initiation that become live tomorrow good afternoon on the south goal of Tompkins Square Park , wo n’t leave in some excellent high jinx .
The speaker ’s part of theConflux Festival , a weekend - longsighted program of participatory art and applied science projects in the East Village . The Urban Speaker ’s act is 979 - 997 - 3041 — hopefully Mike Rotch will be there to answer your call . [ Wooster Collective ]
