Every phone that taps this in the same minute starts together on the next :00, signal or not.
Set it inside on the wifi. Every phone on this channel keeps the time and runs it at that moment, even with no signal outside. Open the app on every phone before you leave the wifi.
THE PHONE, KNOT BY KNOT
Press and hold to light each letter. Not synced.
HOW
- Everyone opens the same channel and taps ARM. Phones locked upright, brightness up, clock covered.
- Photographer: tripod, bulb, remote. Open the shutter on the long low beep after 1.
- Walker: stand at the first knot, screen to the lens. Step on each click.
- The face at the end goes on close knots, one phone-width apart (about 7 cm): shuffle sideways on the soft ticks so its parts touch.
- Close the shutter on the two-note end tone.
- The screen stays black for a few seconds after the end tone, so nothing lights the photo while the shutter closes.
- To leave the black screen early: hold two fingers on it for 2 seconds (solo step: one finger, 3 seconds).
