Colour by Numbers
The  secret agent picks up the hotel phone handset and places it on the cold, marble counter. He pokes his finger at the buttons, quickly dialing +46 70 57 57 807. After a careful gaze across the lobby to make sure no one is watching, he sweeps up the handset and listens for instructions. He has only a few moments to make his move. He presses more buttons, hangs up, and stalks out into the night. Seconds later, the colored lights mysteriously change in the tower at Telefonplan in the Stockholm suburb of Midsommarkransen. The agent's mission is successful. But he isn't the only one with the secret code to change the lights. Even you can do it. Artist Erik Krikortz, architect Milo Lavén, and interaction designer Loove Broms invite you to control the tower. Think of it as your own secret assignment. (Hint: If you're dialing from the U.S., press 011 before the telephone number.) (in Visual Arts) |
