Call Me is an interactive installation for the theatre production Mobil by Sergi Belbel taking the main topic of the play – communication over cell phones and it’s impact on how people treat each other – to another level of promotion. Therefore we created several reactive posters which were installed on location using the huge glass windows as screens to Potsdam’s inner city. One poster for each character, represented as an interactive video. On the windows we’ve attached mobile phone numbers passers-by can call causing the character to answer the phone and speak a small monologue from the play leaving the visitor curious for more information.

Call Me was shown in Potsdam from November 2006 until January 2007 as a collaborational project between the Interfacedesign program and the Hans Otto Theatre Potsdam.

This installation was realized with custom Java software using Quicktime for Java and Arduino with some old Nokia 3310 cell phones.
