0775 822 5698: It's art, innit? Here's an idea for an art project: dangle a mobile phone into a glacier and let people call the number to hear the ice 'die', as global warming destroys our planet. Nice. You can call this number (UK-based: +44 775 822 5698) one at a time (the wee small hours are recommended) and listen to the cracking of the ice,...
