Gold.Phone
Two strangers, one phone, whatever they choose to say
About the work
Gold.Phone is a sculptural phone booth that connects strangers through unscripted, anonymous voice calls. No screens, no filters, no swiping: just two people and whatever they choose to say to each other. Placed in public space, it treats voice as the simplest technology we have for being present to one another.
Why this work
Social isolation is a design failure, not a personal one. Gold.Phone treats voice as the simplest technology for connection. Two strangers. No screens. No filters. Just presence.
