CELL PHONE: Art and the Mobile Phone
January 21 - April 22, 2007
The Contemporary Museum
Baltimore, Maryland
Cell Phone: Art and the Mobile Phone explores some of the groundbreaking
works that are being created by artists today using cell phone technologies.
These works engage such features and technologies as camera phones, video
phones, global positioning systems, Bluetooth technology, ring tone sounds,
and messaging. Artistic interest in mobile phone technology lies not only in
producing artworks for individual handheld devices, but in the potential of
mobile phone technologies to create works that can be performative and
participatory. Often created without the traditional systems of art world
distribution or exhibition in mind, these works look beyond the walls of a
gallery and move art into the dynamic realm of mobility, interaction, and
global connectivity.
Cell Phone features an international group of over 30 artists and artist
collectives representing the range of artworks being created with and for a
mobile phone device. Some of the works in Cell Phone take the form of a
sculptural object, like Beatrice Valentine Amrhein
