Cell-outs and Phonies


an exhibition of cell phone media:: August 6-27:: lacda:: Los Angeles Center For Digital Art.

As the digital world grows to encompass all aspects of our life, we see the gadgets of our day-to-day existence evolving into expressive art mediums. The advent of cell phones with built-in cameras has sprung a revolution in photography and digital filmmaking; its accessibility is eliminating the boundaries between amateur and professional. Examining the line where art and technology intersect, Cell-outs and Phonies, explores this new way of creating and experiencing digital art.

Michael Freeman writes on rhizome.org:
"The show's premise that these gadgets have inspired a 'revolution in photography and digital filmmaking' is insightful and timely, but the suggestion that their 'accessibility is eliminating the boundaries between amateur and professional' is questionable. Yet, this is certainly the kind of show which will form the critical basis of research to come, when, in future, these objects will have the nostalgic charm of retro klunkiness."
