Daemon Phone, 2026

Jordan Schwartz

Six-line Automatic Electric rotary telephone (c. 1950s), Arduino Metro Mini, Raspberry Pi, NeoPixel LEDs, ElevenLabs voice agents.

A rewired office phone where every number reaches someone hard to reach: Gregor Samsa mid-metamorphosis, an irritable Karl Marx, a physicist calling from 1957, a ghost-story archivist. Misdial, and a clerk at Death Incorporated picks up with your file open.
