It's extremely relevant and pertinent to our generation since we are in constant communication. and by putting phones and means of comm in an environment that is seemingly devoid of connection with the outside world creates a sense of scare or fear. it's a great juxtaposition. It's kinda eerie. in a good way. makes one reflect upon our reliance upon tech and constant interaction with the rest of society. yes relevant. suggestions. good. good editing. interesting idea. good accomplishment. happy trails. don't step on glass
A very cool idea about including something very unnatural. You have a very distinct theme that explores well the various aspects of communication. Provides a very provocative contrast between nature and modern technology.
This piece is relevant to the time we live in because it deals with the idea of technology invading and taking over nature. It's relevant to the place in the mounds where you shot because there was already evidence that man had been there and altered the land. It's not as relevant to the larger tradition of earthworks, but rather branches out into a new type of art.
You were definitely successful in your objective.
Some suggestions - more shots of people communicating with the phones; nature using the phones to communicate; nature overcoming the phones.
This piece is relevant to the time because it contemplates the place of technology in the natural world. It looks at the temporary nature of technology and the lasting dominance of nature. It's relevant to the Mounds because they merely added the phones to the landscape that was already there. It is relevant to the tradition of earth work because it sends a message through the manipulation of natural elements. The group was successful to their aims of show the obsolete technology being dominated by the cycles of nature. The only revision i might suggest would be to manipulate the natural setting itself more instead of just adding an unnatural element.
the use of hanging phones is relevant in a society driven by connection and technology. The specific use of phones creates a sense of connectivity through communication, but since it is hung in a natural setting (which obviously does not have any phone jacks or reception whatsoever) it creates a stark contrast between these two ideas of connection and isolation. Because they are intertwined, it begs the question, are we still alone even with all our communication based technology. Are we alone?
It was awesome, and we love it a lot. a lot a lot a lot a lot
This is relevant because technology is so pervasive in our world. It mixes elements of the city (phones are reminiscent of pay phones) with an otherwise completely natural environment. So it is successful for landscapes, by combining city and a woodsy environment. They accomplished their aims well because the phones seem so out of place, like technology has too much of a place in our lives. It might be cool if they had used something more technologically advanced than corded phones. This would make it even more relevant.

Bien hecho. :)
