An alternate series of audio alerts for the iPhone that use the English language to explore and play with our learned connection between word, sound and meaning. 

—

A byproduct of smartphone use is a Pavlovian response to the device's sound and corresponding function. Hearing a particular alert instantly triggers a response to address the activated communication, whether it be a phone call or new e-mail.

Routinely changing alert tones can temporarily offset this effect until a new pattern of Pavlovian conditioning is re-learnt – but what happens if we introduce sounds that are already preloaded with meaning? What if the alerts are words?

Watch the video below to see it in action.
