this app lets a stranger deliver your texts irl

Miranda July and Miu Miu are out to take digital communication back into the physical world.

Potentially dangerous, possibly wonderful, a new app from the mind of Miranda July is here to deliver messages to your closest pals — with the help of a stranger. Somebody, made in collaboration with Miu Miu, lets you write a message to a friend then select a stranger who’s close by to deliver it. You can even give them directorial notes! Perhaps you want your message delivered tearfully, or maybe belted out like Mariah? You could even end it with a hug, if you like. Learn a little more about the intriguing app here. Don’t quite get how it all works? This film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival last year, shows you exactly how it’s done.
