+58: The Urban Think Tank in Caracas, Venezuela

The Urban Think Tank, consisting of directors, Alfredo Brillembourg and Hubert Klumpert, and their project team, Kwi-Hae Kim, Leonardo Lamedam, and Anna Wachtmeister, commented on what they called the “ubiquity and practicality of cell phone use created the habit of exchanging phone numbers between temporary acquaintances to long term friends.” They “acted as tourists guided by a local in the city of Caracas and collected cell phone numbers from the various people they interacted with.” Urban Think Tank Project Team was made up of Alfredo Brillembourg and Hubert Klumpert along with the team of Kwi-Hae Kim, Leonardo Lamedam, and Anna Wachtmeister.

Ubiquity and practicality of cell phone use created the habit of exchanging phone numbers between temporary acquaintances to long term friends.

For the duration of one day we will act as tourists guided by a local in the city of Caracas and collect cell phone numbers from various people we interact with. As we travel through the poor and the wealthy areas of the city, the list of contacts and photos taken during the exchange will be the record of this day long event. At the end of the day, all the contacts we have collected will be sent to the blog site which will contain information of the exhibition in Los Angeles. Through this site, they will be informed that they are able to participate in this exhibition by calling the number which was exchanged earlier that day.

We will acquire an international roaming number to exchange. During the days of exhibition in Los Angeles, we request provision of means to converse between the contacts we will have gathered in Caracas, the contacts gathered in San Diego and the people present at the exhibition gallery.
