電話作為新興通訊技術的早期經驗，不僅由設備構成，也由接線員的聲音與情感勞動塑造：禮貌、耐心與克制，成為人們接觸這項技術時的情感基調。藝術家低價從二手平台購入一部被標記為「應該壞了」的舊式電話。當它被判定為失效，便脫離了原有的使用脈絡，也開啟了被拆解與重新組裝的可能。觀眾可以操作電話鍵盤，並接入現代手機，以取樣自網絡流傳電話錄音的聲音素材演奏音樂。被淘汰的舊電話不再維持禮貌，而顯得不合時宜，甚至有些囂張。

Early experiences of the telephone as an emerging communication technology were shaped not only by the device itself, but also by the voices and emotional labour of telephone operators: politeness, patience, and restraint set the emotional tone for people’s encounters with this technology. The artist purchased an old telephone at a low price from a second-hand marketplace, where it was listed as “probably broken.” Once deemed non-functional, it became detached from its original context of use, opening up the possibility of dismantling and reassembling it. Users can use its keypad and connect it to a modern mobile phone to make music with sounds sampled from telephone recordings circulating online. The obsolete telephone no longer maintains its polite demeanour; instead, it sounds out of place, even a little defiant.
