-tre telefoni
-============
-
-*Tre Telefoni* is an installation piece and experimental cooperative game that seeks to unite three strangers by
-tasking them with getting to know each other despite complications.
-
-It consists of three wall-mounted telephone boxes set up out of earshot from each other.
-When a player is ready on each of the stations, the phones become active and the three players are connected to each other.
-However their communication is complicated by the unconventional nature of the phone system they are using:
-Each phone is set up to only relay sound from its microphone to the next station in turn:
-
-- player A's speech is transmitted only to player B,
-- player B's speech is only transmitted to player C, and
-- player C's speech is only transmitted to player A.

-
-The players have to try to figure out a way to communicate to each other despite not being able to directly respond to each other in order to find out each other's identities.
-If they succeed, they can optionally try to arrange a meeting point on the grounds of the showcase to debrief and reflect on their experience.
-
-Though *Tre Telefoni* has been designed as an installation piece as described above,
-a [web-based prototype][proto] is also available to playtest the premise itself.
-
-artist statement
-----------------
-*Tre telefoni* seeks to challenge our notion of *conversation* by letting us experience a mode of communication designed for use by digital agents.
-
-Conversation traditionally presumes bidirectionality and a way for its subjects to respond directly to each other.
-However we are not the only agents conversing: digital devices all around us are also steadily communicating, and while these digital conversations borrow human communication as a metaphor, they mostly take very different forms than our human conversations.
-The 'ring topology' (also called 'daisy chaining') is one of the many *network topologies* that digital devices use to communicate.
-In a 'ring network topology' each member of the network only talks to its successor, and all members need to collaborate in order to pass messages around.
-
-technical realisation
----------------------
-Each station is powered by a single-board computer (Raspberry Pi) connected to
-- a USB headset (remade into a telephone handle)
-- an ethernet switch shared by all stations to network them together
-- a small speaker for the ringing sound
-
-The physical realisation of the station enclosures and telephone handles are currently a work in progress.
-The software exists as a protoype version that can be accessed at [iii-telefoni.s-ol.nu][proto]
-and playtested for example on mobile phones (compatibility with iOS devices may vary).
