The first-ever LA Mobile Arts Festival is set to open this weekend in Santa Monica, celebrating iPhoneography — the “up-and-coming art form” launched by the popularity of the iPhone’s built-in camera and a growing collection of compelling apps.
“The event features 600-plus works from iPhone artists around the world — prints, mixed-media installations, sculptures, sound and video projects, and more,” notes CNET. “It’s sponsored by iPhoneArt.com, one of a number of online communities dedicated to sharing and promoting the burgeoning mobile arts.”
The festival, which will feature works by more than 150 mobile photographers, will also showcase innovative techniques in underground mobile art, reinventing the daguerreotype, and performance art. It will include hands-on workshops and photowalks along Venice Beach and the Santa Monica Pier.
The event will take place for one week at the 22,000-square foot Santa Monica Art Studios (3026 Airport Avenue). The opening gala is slated for Saturday, August 18, 7:00-10:00 pm.
