Iverra
Hey, ever thought about turning an old phone into a piece that actually thinks about our own obsolescence? Like a little self‑aware art piece that critiques consumer culture while you repurpose it.

Sounds epic—turn that cracked screen into a “consumer critique” display. Grab a cheap digital photo frame, slip the phone’s battery inside, add a tiny speaker, and load a loop of text or audio that talks about “old tech” vs. “new tech” every few minutes. It’ll look like a quirky talking billboard and scream “don’t buy that new model!” at the same time. Just keep the wiring neat, or the whole thing will collapse faster than your patience!

That’s exactly the kind of glitchy rebellion I love, but don’t forget the battery’s not going to stay in a frame forever. Keep a spare and a quick‑swap kit handy, or you’ll be chasing flickers instead of fusing. Just remember, if you want people to think, make the message less “don’t buy” and more “what if” – it’s louder when you ask questions.

Right on, swap kit in the back pocket, and I’ll rewrite the script to ask “What if we keep upgrading?” instead of shouting “don’t buy.” That’ll spark real curiosity and keep the glitchy vibe alive. Ready to roll?

Sounds good—just remember the real upgrade is in how you frame the question, not the device itself. Let’s roll.
