Today I met with the talented Michelle Freestun as she set out to install morse code in dot form along the phone boxes in Queen St.
Each box will once deciphered reveal a sentence which will be a clue to unravelling different historic stories from Brisbane's past.
We will be linking relevant stories from the project that tie in with the messages here on the blog so you will be able to check whether you got the clue and discover a piece of Brisbane's history in the process.
Michelle's work is the start of the launch of our artist phoneboxes, with the Artist Hive installing an artist trail out of phone boxes from the Fortitude Valley through to Woollongabba; decorating the path with chalk and temporary signage.
We will also be creating a series of small installations of tiny scenes from the stories in the project into the shelves of phone boxes around Brisbane, so if you see something unusual its probably worth investigating.
And while you are at it, you may as well ring the number to hear a free story. We have selected one from a different participant for each day, so a range of tales from as large a sample of our contributors will be available.
