Direct Line to David Bowie

 A window in a small wall next to a landline phone that rings David Bowie.

So David Bowie would get a cell phone dedicated to calls from an interactive museum piece. He could pick up or not, when and as he liked, but for the sake of the artwork, he must in good faith be potentially reachable. Could last as long as he was willing, a day, a month. If he wanted he could pass on the cellular as he liked and then see what happened with a phone in a museum that could potentially always reach someone.

       Would this line still work after he's dead?   

       The neat thing about seances is that they represent the first wireless technology.

       The Artist Is Present minus the presence of the Artist. This could be part of a series of abstractions of TAIP, each one further step removed: Justine Frischmann by semaphore; Bowie by phone; Pynchon by Shapchat; Kate Beaton by passenger pigeon; Jeff Koons by séance.

       + I 'm not sure why but this idea set me to remembering Stella Street. That's worth a croissant of anyone's money.

       I wonder if Kevin Bacon would call?   

       Is Jeff Koons dead? I like the séance idea (oo look it gave me the accent! Bonsoir!) even better if he is not dead: it seems in keeping with his type of artifice.
