Phone Noir - Video
Geoffrey Shea and Paula Gardner


Phone Noir is a mobile poetry experience presented at the Words Aloud! Spoken Word Festival, November, 2006. Users are transported to a Casablanca-inspired railway environment, peppered with random noir-like phrases that are isolated or overlap depending on the their movement through a determined space. An indoor iteration uses Bluetooth beacons and this outdoor version relies on GPS coordinates. Written and performed by Paula Gardner and Geoffrey Shea, additional sound by John Pavicic, engineered by Jagmit Singh (Bluetooth) and Ken Leung (GPS).
