Is This Art? Iphone app…

I am not too keen on it, but I guess it’s cheeky. What are your thoughts?

I feel very silly right now.  How am I JUST learning that these two banners outside of BCAM at LACMA are done by John Baldessari? File this under things LACMA needs to promote better.

It is nice to know that I am not the only one late to the game, LACMA is JUST now starting to talk about people using iphone’s for creating art.  Catch up LACMA, I (and other people) have been talking about this for days…

Architecture, created by Bas Berck, “tells you the story behind the building and the architect, shows two images for each project, website and address, and a detailed map with walking or driving directions. It also presents you with a Google Street View where available. Projects can also be browsed by categories ‘cities’ or ‘architects’ with no data connection needed, because all information and pictures are stored offline on the end-user’s phone. Architecture contains projects from 165 different architects, in 270 cities worldwide. It has more than 1000 pictures from buildings stored internally.”

You can download a free 3 day trial version. The application is USD 3.99 / EUR 2,99. More info available here.

I don’t have an iphone, but I guarantee you that if I did I would have this application! How great would this be if you travel, or are just going to a new neighborhood?

Bob Poe Iphone Cover 2009

Shot throughout the Los Angeles and Santa Monica area, the spontaneous nature of the iPhone lets Poe capture images that, when viewed at length, display curious juxtapositions, symbolism and humor.

The time has come, the Walrus said, to talk of many things, of ships and shoes and ceiling wax and whether this “photography w/ your iphone thing” has wings.

» New Yorker "finger painting" videos on Iphones.

There’s a companion application, Brushes Viewer, that makes a video recapitulating each step of how Colombo composed the picture. (Watch how he drew this week’s cover below.) Colombo leans heavily on the Undo feature: “It looks like I draw everything with supernatural assurance and very fast—it gets rid of all the hesitations.”

Thanks Michael for the link.
