LONELINESS IN THE CITY(Helsinki, 2000)

The goal of the project in Helsinki was to create a world Record of Contact. An event where everyone should bring his or her mobile phone and call one of the other anonymous participants. At the same time there could be real contact with the person, because everyone was present at the same spot. The mobile phone connects people but also creates the illusion of contact. Helsinki being the hometown of Nokia seemed an appropriate place to question the function and influence of the mobile phone.
