Mobile phones become art

The word 'why?' springs to mind...

By Will Sturgeon

The Design Museum in London is to unveil an exhibition which consists of 150 mobile phones floating in a tank of water.

"But why?" you may ask.

Apparently the installation is intended to create the effect of fish swimming in a large tank - a concept the nearby London Aquarium also managed to realise... by having fish swimming in a large tank.

Visitors to the exhibition will be able to phone the sub aquatic handsets, and in doing so will spark a chain reaction which will set off all the phones - making them light up and vibrate (we take their word for it that this is what fish do).
