+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.
+
+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](//iii-telefoni.s-ol.nu)
+and playtested for example on mobile phones (compatibility with iOS devices may vary).
