More information about Germaine Koh's project, "Relay"

Now that those handy lil' Morse code "decoder cards" have started to circulate around the city, the telephone number temporarily designated for Relay has been receiving calls. Potential participants are seeking more information, so we've updated the voice message to direct them here.

Things you might like to know about Relay, and how to get involved:
  • Participation is open to anyone with access to a cellular phone capable of sending text messages (aka SMS). Regular message charges, as per your cell phone plan, apply.
  • Relay accepts any text message sent to the designated telephone number (204.951.9129) as per the character-length maximums established between wireless carriers.
  • Your message can be personal, or public in nature. That said, please be aware that it is visible in Morse code format to anyone who can see the light flashing from the roof of Artspace. Open access public broadcast is one goal of the project, after all.
  • Neither the artist nor staff of Video Pool intervene physically -- we don't approve or reject messages.
Relay will be available from October 16 - November 16, 2007, so feel free to share your thoughts with the city as often as you wish.
