Rootkid creates an old-school phone that reads poetry
Rookids artistic installations are otherwordly, check how he builds them in his youtube channel!
Whispering Wires 2025 is an interactive installation that repurposes a standard French telephone from the 1960s. Embedded within the original casing are modern electronics, including a Raspberry Pi Zero and audio amplifiers, connected to the handset earpiece and an additional speaker.
An amazing use of technology to create something bigger, what a nice installation. I love how he casually uses a graphql client to download a whole set of audios from a poetry site to distort and include in his project.
Check Rootkid’s other works to be equally amazed, the AI trapped in a cage process is quite cool.
I’m already following Rootkid’s youtube channel, his works are crazy cool.
