*ArtistJean Luc has put old landline telephones to good use with his sculptures titled “Telephone Sheep”. The series explores how fast technology is moving and how we can put old things to good use. The sculptures use the hand dialing base as the head, the cords as their wool and the earpiece as their feet. The “Telephone Sheep” exhibit was displayed at the Museum of Telecommunication in Frankfurt.
I love this, brilliant!

I miss my black rotary dial phone, Beth. Or maybe just those days of knowing when its bell rang, the callEr really was somebody who wanted to talk only to you.
