Artist Statement:

Cave Plexum is a wall-mounted black rotary telephone from the 1950’s posited as a recruitment tool for a group of dissidents who are infiltrating a government entity with the intent to blow the whistle on corruption. The phone is part of a larger project and acts as a rabbit hole which allows further interactions with the dissident group, and will ultimately let members participate and collaborate with the artists (a.k.a. the Operator) over time.
