In the not so distant past, phone booths provided the much-needed privacy to people having phone conversations in public. With cellphones around, the phone booths died a natural death, but only to be resurrected by individuals who grappled with issues of privacy, personal space, and nostalgia. Superman would be thrilled. Take for instance Jenny Chowdhury's "Cell Atlantic Cellbooth", a wearable object you can carry around and set up when you need a moment to talk. It creates an illusion of privacy and stillness afforded by old school 4-walled phone booths. The concept is similar to Nick Rodrigues' "Portable Cellphone Booth", but Nick's version provides a visual image of lost opportunities to interact with one another due to self-involvement. More than the privacy and the attention, Nick hopes that people receive a myriad of messages ranging from self-deprecating humor to realization that friendship and relationships are neglected. Quite serious psychological and social stuff, really. But do they really expect to be taken seriously when wearing those silly ensemble draws a fit of laughter from everyone they meet? You be the (laughing) judge.
