The Take Your Time 3 message was also used in an installation in the KunstHal Rotterdam, May 1998, during an artists initiatives presentation called CLASH! - for some mysterious reason. Probably the director of the KunstHal, Mr. Wim van Krimper, thought it was appropriate. The Somniloquy Institute installation involved a cubical with a continueously ringing telephone on a piedestal. Once the telephone was picked up an adaptation of the Take Your Time 3 message could be heard. The installation was the result of a cooperation with our special friends, the Rotterdam CELL Foundation, 'Initiators of Incidents', who invited The Somniloquy Institute to design an incident for this occasion. We don't know why.
