Miranda July's Somebody app makes strangers your messengers
Miranda July on her latest effort to humanize digital technology.
Forget texting your friend "the old-fashioned way" -- artist and filmmaker Miranda July invites you to use her new Somebody app to redirect your message to a nearby Somebody user, who then delivers your message in person -- even adding personal actions to your text like crying, a scream or a kiss.
The artist joins Jian to discuss the app, which is something of a social experiment, and what she hopes users will gain from the experience.
