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). -- cgit v1.2.3
