Switchboard Art, by Robert Walser. Translated from the German and with an introduction by Susan Bernofsky (New Directions: $19.95; 9780811219854).
Walser (1878-1956) was one of the great modernist writers of the early 20th century. He was a contemporary of Kafka and Kästner, not much better known than they are today, but his reputation is growing, and deservedly so. The German poet and playwright Reiner Kunze has called him “our greatest prose writer in German.” He lived in Germany, Switzerland and France before dying in an asylum at age 56.
Walser’s first novel, “Jakob von Gunten,” published in 1908, tells the story of a boy who is sent to a boarding school run by a tyrannical headmaster who insists that he be addressed as “Your Majesty.” In the meantime the boy has been reading Rousseau’s “Confessions” and begins to consider himself a citizen of Geneva rather than his native Germany. Determined to escape from his school, he steals some money from his friends and sets off for Switzerland, where he plans to live as a free man

I’m a nanny, yes. I do have kids, but they’re not here now. I don’t know what they’re doing. I don’t actually care. It’s my day off. I have absolutely no obligations whatsoever. I decided to take a walk outside, and as a result, it’s pouring down rain. And it’s cold outside, too!
It’s raining cats and dogs outside! Actually, just raining really hard. It’s so bad that pedestrians are getting drenched in their own cars because the windshield wipers can’t keep up with the speed of the drops hitting them. Which is shocking to me because windshield wipers on a car are designed specifically to wipe rain from a windshield.
Trying to tell someone how much you love them can be one of the most difficult things to do in a relationship. The first time for me was saying ‘I love you’ to my wife and it was so hard because it felt like my heart was going to explode out of my chest and if she didn’t say it back to me then my heart would be broken into millions of pieces and never be whole again in this lifetime…but then she said it back and we were both so
I am a designer that used to just have a portfolio of my design work. I wanted to stand out; so I added some art pieces. These are highly successful in capturing the attention of viewers, and the subject matter is relevant to my work as a designer.
If you have an idea for a piece or want to discuss your own personal project, please contact me through this site or email (peter@marioperez.com)
Switchboard art is a form of telephone art created by manually rerouting telephone calls through a number of telephones, creating an interesting soundscape in the process.
A number of switchboard artists have come and gone, but one of the most active has been Jodi. Jodi began in 1993, when she was just a teenager and would create her art from payphones at her high school, using the handset to select different phones for her “piano.” Eventually she was able to get permission to use a bank of phones at a charity office, and then moved on to using banks of phones around the world, connecting callers to each other across oceans and continents.
At some point the phone company found out about this practice, and Jodi was threatened with disconnection unless she stopped. The phone company was afraid that people would think that their calls were being tapped into, which they were not. And Jodi was worried that she would be unable to find someone else who would let her use their phones if they disconnected her. So after many years in which she had developed a very large following and made lots of friends, Jodi stopped doing switchboard art. But now she has decided it is safe enough to bring it back.
The original purpose of the switchboard was to connect calls. The operator was in charge of the connections.
The operator was also a switchboard artist.
