John Quinn, How to Skype call yourself in the future using your iPhone (still), 2012

John Quinn

How to Skype call yourself in the future using your iPhone is a parody of a YouTube tutorial. As soon as the presenter starts to run the program, a series of noises signal the intervention of some other entity. The caller becomes the called. The caller is soon beguiled by the future until the system overloads or decides it’s had enough. If we could call ourselves in the future would we like what we hear? What if no one picks up? What if the program filters what we’re told? Which future would we believe?

We screened John's work 'How to Skype call yourself in the future using your iPhone' at the Göteborg Culture Festival 2012, Sweden in the Big M, check it out here.
