Features SmartSmart

Take your phone to the theatre.
Join Adrienne Wong for crafts, storytelling, and surprises… just be sure to leave your phone on.
Smartphones are one of many ‘modifications’ humans make to themselves in the name of advancement.
Early cybernetic devices have ranged from contact lenses to cochlear implants.
Now haptics on our phones remind us to drink water, notifications urge us to get enough sleep, and our senses are extended by a web of computers accessible from the pocket-sized terminals we tuck under our pillows at night.
This is a work in development that explores pervasive media and our relationships to our devices, and how they affect our relationships with others and ourselves.SmartSmart combines audience participation and a modular script where the storytelling is predetermined, but the order is improvised based on you, the audience.
The experience is a meditation on mediation.The AppThis app triggers the back camera of your device to record video.

That’s it.
