Answering the phone prompts a voicemail recording to play through the handset. There are 30 recordings, a random one selected each time one answers. Recordings respond to “something an angry, stifled suburban parent would say” as interpreted and performed by several collaborators.

The adjacent photo frame plays a looping slideshow of local real-estate photos to compliment the voicemails.
