"Cell-Outs and Phonies" at L.A. Center for Digital Art

Cell-outs and Phonies:
an exhibition of cell phone media

August 6-27
Opening Reception
Friday August 6, 7-11pm


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.

Short films will be shown on LCDs and projected while other images are
printed, up-linked or never removed from the actual phone.

The opening reception will feature music assembled entirely with ring tones by German experimental group Super Smart and continuous screenings of cell phone videos.
