The telephone concentrates functions and expands our homes by transforming and transporting them elsewhere, becoming an extension of our brains, a prosthesis, a contemporary fetish that has profoundly and silently changed our existences. Allodola is a tool that enters into relationship with this object made of virtual functions, trying to make it physical. It is a presence that gives body through ancient materials to a brain made with the highly sophisticated technologies of our present.
