eyephoneography #2 opens in Madrid today, April 15th and runs through May 29th, 2011.
The work of Matt Burrows, ©arlein, Stefano Giogli and Jordi V. Pou will be featured in this second edition and will inspire off- and on-line debates culminating in an in-person series of talks during the opening weekend.
Among the events are an online community-fed slideshow that all mobile photographers are invited to participate in. Read past the jump for more info.
The show takes place at the Sala EFTI, one of the two galleries of Spain’s leading photography school, EFTI, and it includes the work of four creators who have chosen mobile photography to convey their message in stunning ways.
The Opening Reception is tonight from 18:00 – 22:00 local time. If you’re planning to attend, here’s the address:
Sala EFTI
Calle FuenterrabÃa 4-6
Madrid, Spain
The goals of eyephoneography are to link the digital world back to the physical one and to support mobile photography by offering various interaction opportunities for photographers and their audiences and by promoting its artistic and social potential. In this context, eyephoneography #2 will have two components: on the one hand, an exhibit featuring the work of four international mobile photographers, and on the other hand, a series of talks and discussions about fields related to mobile photography, namely photography and the arts, communication and technology, and social action.
Participate in the community-fed eyephoneography #2 slideshow
A mobile-photography community-fed instantly-curated slideshow accompanies the printed images of Carlein van der Beek, Matt Burrows, Stefano Giogli, and Jordi V Pou.
Submissions for the slideshow will open on Friday, April 15th, 2011 at 18:00 (GMT+1) until 15 minutes before the end of the event at 21:45 GMT+1. [That’s 12:00 noon – 3:45 pm local time in New York, 9:00 am – 12:45 pm local time in Los Angeles]
The slideshow will be displayed on a screen in the EFTI gallery and will be curated on the fly by Paola Grilli and Laura Baffari of fotogriPhone.
To have a chance to be selected for the slideshow, you will need to submit your images to the eyephoneography’s Facebook page. The page will accept photos starting on Friday at 18:00 GMT+1. Please submit ONLY your own pictures and preferably no older that 2011.
If your image is selected and it is being shown in the gallery, fotogriPhone will post a comment on your photo to let you know.
(For those of you that worry about photography rights on Facebook, they aren’t very different from those of Tumblr or Posterous. For your peace of mind, you can always remove your photos from the page once the event finishes.)
