If the smartphone has officially become an active sensorial extension of ourselves, how do we emotionally relate to this limb which is both us and not us ? How To Break Your Phone is the documented journey I take to answer this question, both from the perspective of striking against the permeation of this technology as an everyday necessity and extension of myself, whilst also emotively exploring my attachment to it, almost as a sentient being. This series was then followed by another entitled Phone Funerals.
