5. “The Keitai Aesthetic emphasises the importance of location…
mobile devices make the mundane interesting, the everyday
confronted… the sense of intimate connectedness to the
message, it’s subject and the author”
(Max Schlesser, 2008)

6. Personal Jesus - Yaroslav Dimont

7. “I first discovered the mobile phone camera as a creative tool quite by
accident when I was taking a video of my nephews playing on swings in a park
and the sun happened to be slowly setting in the background. When I later
viewed the videos on a computer I noticed that there were many appealing
"quirks" in the way that the camera dealt with things like sudden changes in
light and sudden movement. I guess in a sense I just found the way it dealt
with "errors" aesthetically appealing. Also it seemed to pixelate things in a way
which was reminiscent of old Super 8 film; somehow the digital noise was
distorted in a way that was unpredictable and inspiring.”
(Tim Bruniges, visual artist and filmmaker)

20. “When the new media replace or mix with traditional
ones, a long established practice may be perturbed or
even disrupted by the discontinuity.... the appearance of a
new medium in a specific domain of practice, whatever
conceptualization one may prefer to account for the
phenomenon, is always a complex and dynamic event,
involving a blend of discontinuity and continuity,
disruption as well as construction”
