questions in an ironic fashion the shifting of text and language through

| description: visitors of "sms karaoke" send their sms messages to the "sms_ karaoke" mobile number. once the installation mobile phone beeps a computer reads the sms messages from the phone and then proceeds to add the messages to the song list. these sms messages are then displayed in typical karaoke fashion as song lyrics on the screen. visitors of the work can then joyfully sing their sms messages aloud. |
| run sequence: - sms message sent to installation phone - phone beeps ... triggers the computer to read the messages on the phone - messages are then added to a text file on the computer - old messages are then deleted on phone - director application then moves forward from demo mode to karaoke mode, loading in sms texts into quicktime movie |
