Urban-Think Tank. Torolab.org. Index. PKMN[pac-man] No.mad. LHE projects | ELF. The collection began in 1998 and continues to grow to this day. In some way this archive, this anthropological study traces the liminal nature of the intercom itself. From commercial offices, private apartments to social housing blocks, the intercom is a gatekeeper, marking the threshold, the space between outer and inner-worlds. As a photograph, the intercom becomes a stand-in, a surrogate for the building and it’s occupants. Some, such as the more corporate looking device offer few clues to what lies behind. In this sense the intercom is simultaneously a screen and a screening device. For not only does the intercom lend itself to examination by the photograph, it too is a machine designed for interrogation.
