Wind Phone
A wind phone, also known as a "telephone of the wind" or "kaze no denwa" in Japanese, is an art installation typically found in outdoor settings, often in rural or natural areas. The concept originated in Japan with the installation of the "Kaze no Denwa" by Itaru Sasaki in 2010, following the loss of his cousin in the 2010 earthquake and tsunami.
A wind phone typically consists of a non-functional telephone booth or similar structure placed in a scenic location, such as a hilltop or overlooking the ocean. Visitors are invited to enter the booth, pick up the receiver, and speak to their lost loved ones or simply reflect on their memories. While the phone doesn't actually connect to anyone, the act of speaking into it serves as a form of catharsis and emotional release for many individuals.
The wind phone symbolizes a place of solace and contemplation, where people can find comfort and closure in the face of loss or grief. It has inspired similar installations around the world and has become a symbol of resilience, healing, and the universal need for connection.
----------
In Second Life, the concept of a Wind Phone network was conceived by two friends, Zoe Foodiboo and Emm Evergarden, giving rise to the Wind Phone Collective. Made up of individuals who have created Wind Phones, this collective aims to extend their spaces to others, offering solace and support in times of grief.
In SL, Wind Phones serve as sanctuaries, allowing individuals to momentarily step away from the hustle and bustle of both virtual and real life. Here, they can find solitude and connect with their departed loved ones, cherishing memories and finding comfort.
