ABOUT

Lazlo Moholy-Nagy claimed to have created 'Telephone Pictures' in the 1920s by
transmitting voice instructions to a local enamel factory via telephone.
Text-to-image AI models are the latest in a long list of technologies to raise
questions about authorship and definitions of art.

For 25 GWei, you can call the BEEF factory to place an order. Proof-of-receipt
will be livestreamed. Lead time may vary, with no guarantees. At operator's
discretion, some prompts will be chosen to initiate a process to create
something. The operator may employ subcontractors. Multiple draft designs may be
presented for feedback through voting. On completion, the result and and
documentation of its creation will be minted for sale, with right of first
refusal offer to the original prompter.

Payphone helps me deal with my anxieties: reclaiming agency by putting a filter
on my communication, and overcoming choice paralysis by interpreting the
instructions of others, absolving myself of authorship.

Many artists I have spoken to feel overwhelmed by the 24/7 social media cycle
and associated expectations. Constant bombardment of fragmented information
through multiple communication channels, decision paralysis and burnout in the
face of too many possibilities, race against technological advancements,
competition for attention, performance expectation, brand alignment, fragmented
time, and social comparisons.

I remember a time when it was much easier to put boundaries on one's attention,
control one's own pace, maintain a focus independent of any audience or any
awareness of what others were doing.

For brief periods, I will return to this condition, shutting off all
communication channels. If you want to reach me, you can call me on the
blockchain during predefined hours of availability.
