Over the Wire

Danielle Freiman is an interdisciplinary artist based in San Francisco, Calif. Through zine making, assemblage, and manifesto writing, Danielle creates platforms for connection and alchemy between objects and people.

This project was an experiment in communication and intimacy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Danielle created a tin can telephone with a six-foot-long string in an effort to create something that could help amplify her voice while talking with others from a distance. The cans offered some much needed novelty and laughter between the participants and a suggested new form of interaction in lieu of physical touch.
