​

The 7-minute and 55-second-long text was written from the found sentence, “make-believe hotel room telephone”. The aloud text reproduced by pressing a button on the sound module is the story of Sally and her lamb, Lamby, in a hotel room. Lamby is sick, and Sally has an important business dinner to attend, which prompts her to make a series of inauspicious phone calls in search of someone to watch Lamby while she is out. The sentence was found from researching fiction from technologies of communication and the transitory space of the hotel room.
