Description:
My work will be the installation a few new telephone booths in the public telephone system of Budapest which is... Useful: BUT THE VOICE OF THE USER OF THE PHONE WILL BE HEARD OUTSIDE OF THE PHONE BOOTH TOO! So, the would-be users will be able to choose: they can either try and find another telephone which gives them the benefit of total privacy, or they can voluntary undergo the controlling power of publicity. The choice means different things for different people. (Reactions can range from total rejection to using the telephone booth as a private street radio station.) Are there any limits to the style? What are the extremes of the ways of expression and of the manner of speech one uses publicly? (I.Sz.)
