How do you make messaging more interactive? Perhaps by removing the phone intermediary – by adding a human intermediary. Artist, author and filmmaker Miranda July has launched a brand new messaging app that doesn’t send the app to you – it sends it to someone close by, who then has to hunt you down and read it to you. “Unpredictable, undocumented, fleeting interactions with strangers can bring great joy and inspiration!” the Somebody website reads. “Pretending to be someone else is liberating. The feeling is a little like Truth or Dare + Charades.”.
