Phone Story is a satirical game for smartphone devices that attempts to provoke a critical reflection on its own technological platform. Footage from Phone Story within the exhibition invites viewers to explore the negative effects of their consumption on people in the globalised world, referring to sensitive subject matters such as child exploitation and worker suicides. It constitutes a series of mini-games that illustrate the stages of coltan extraction in the Congo, outsourced labour in China, environmental waste in Pakistan and the Western obsession for gadgets.
