Love you: Facetime
Oh Facetime. I love when you are sweet to me, when you sound clear as day and with voice isolation, even in a crowded area. I appreciate how simple you can be, how humans of all ages can use you without having a hard time operating you. Your full screen focus, easy to pick up lines and your international signal is divine. Everytime I want to call someone it’s Facetime. The Audio transference, to the visual mobility. You were first of your kind in accessibility on mobile apple devices. I think of how many hours I have spent on you, sharing outfits with you, taking international calls, sharing secrets and getting to know someone and who’s there beyond what’s framed. Facetime you are a green mean machine, your interface is simple, easy with a flare. I cannot think of an easier communication app. You display your updates, passion kept 32% of calls using only you.
I often think of your software updates and your talents beyond holding up, rising through, without a phone plan needed, but only WIFI to lead the way forward for you to speak and engage. You’re physically trapped behind a black mirror, but I still appreciate you.
“Forget Zoom. Use your iPhone, iPador Mac to hold a group video chat through Apple’s video call platform, FaceTime. While it hasn’t always supported group calls, Apple added support for up to 32 people in early 2019. That’s enough for an entire classroom, club or your extended family for what’s surely a much-needed break during the coronavirus pandemic. Personally, I’ve set up a board game on one end of the call and then using Group FaceTime to play. At first, it sounded lame and cheesy, but it was a ton of fun and put a smile on all of our faces. Group FaceTime works on any Apple device that’s running iOS/iPadOS 12.1.4 or newer, and MacOS 10.14.3 or newer. Some older model iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches that aren’t compatible with iOS 13 can still be part of Group FaceTime calls, but their participation will be limited to only audio.” (FaceTime with a large group: Yes, it’s possible, and it’ll work on iPhone, iPad or Mac – CNET )
HAte you FACETIME
Diva Facetime with all the love, hate has to come in someway, somehow, and in some form. You are loved, but I will have to tell you about yourself. Facetime first, you are restricted to only apple products, meaning we cannot interconnect between android and apple products or windows and apple. You tend to overshare data within Apple, record sometime, transfer sometime and cut connections based on how you feel. Facetime you have your rude moments when you fake like you’re connected, when everyone knows you are not pleased with the WiFi service. Facetime you also keep yourself hidden, why am I being charged for international calls, because you decided to disconnect and connect through email. Facetime, I need you to stabilize your connection. Learn something from skype! Skype held us together, got us when we did not have anyone, I need you to formulate in the same coding sequence, understand how to adapt to everyone’s needs. Your filters for example are simple, there is no effort being put into them.
I love when you connect, but when do you insist on playing in my face? Why am I the fool that trusts your ability to stabilize a connection, use 5G and make it work. Why can I still not speak to other softwares? Are you possessive about how you feel? Can you relate to my being, my fibers, my natural whims? Facetime you choose to isolate yourself! Do you understand how ridiculous that is! All the money you could gain from adding yourself to multiple phones and softwares to create interconnectivity, but of course you chose to monopolize and create distance so people feel the need to buy Apple products in order for them to communicate beyond their phone plan capabilities.
fibers and Pins “FACEtime” (5’2″ x 2’9″)
The goal is to grasp the physical connections made with a wired and wireless connection. What can you see through the tube? Can you smell through facetime? Can you see the surrounding environment? Can you touch the blankets you see? I want the fibers with an audience to be intact. How to create a “connection” How to enact “connectivity” + “Communication”?
