Long Distance Call (2020)

Mixed media Installation
Fax machine, thermal transfer paper, landline

An old fax machine, receiving messages from regions experiencing internet shutdowns, turns into an accidental aggregator of offline stories about digital deprivation unfolding on a roll of thermal paper.

The work was commissioned by Imagine You Wake Up and There is No Internet exhibition through a NEON Greece fund. The show was curated by K. Gkoutziouli & Voltnoi Brege and took place at Romantso, Athens in October 2020.
