Artists with iPhones. Call for works.

Call for participation.

http://www.artistswithiphones.com

Since the fifteenth century and the advent of the mirror artists have modeled for themselves in their own works of art. Whatever the reason, nearly every artist, in every medium from painters to sculptors have attempted this exploration of self.

How does the artistic self portrait look today in the smartphone era?

You are hearby invited to make a creative selfportrait using a mirror and a camera phone.

On February 20 2012 the site artistswithiphones.com will be transformed into a picture blog with all the submitted pieces added and the visitors will be able to rank and comment.It will be in the same spirit as the following websites. But with artists selfportraits. But don’t get stuck in the nudity. It’s more how an contemporary artist would do a self portrait.

Warning! Adult content.

Take your selfportrait and email it to: pic@artistswithiphones.com. Include your name and a link to your artist website.It has to be a selfportrait using a mirror and the cameraphone has to be visible. Other than that it’s open to your creativity.

This is a project from Anders Weberg at the Stian gallery of con-temporary art.

Films made with mobile phones.

Since a while back I run a blog which deals with mobile filmmaking.
I post films made with mobile phones, tips and tricks and so on.
Not my works but I’m very interested and curious on how other people are using the mobile technology and this is a way for me to keep myself update.

Check it out at http://www.mobilefilmmaking.com or http://www.filmamedmobil.se if you prefer a Swedish address.

Pedagogisk guidebok om rörlig bild.

Swedish only!

Pedagogisk guidebok är en publikation om rörliga bilder i utställningsmiljöer från Riksutställningar där jag är medförfattare.
Videokonst tas upp i traditionell mening, men även film, You Tube-klipp och animation och hur dessa kan användas i en lärande museikontext.

Här finns tips och idéer för produktion och reflektion samt konkreta förslag på hur man kan använda mobilkameran som lättillgängligt verktyg. Gemensamt kan dessa texter bli ett verktyg för museipedagoger, lärare och intresserade som i större utsträckning vill kunna använda sig av rörlig bild i ett pedagogiskt sammanhang.

Skriften som nedladdningsbara pdf.

RÖRLIG BILD SOM PEDAGOGISKT VERKTYG
Karolina Westling
, filmvetare och mediepedagog vid Göteborgs universitet. Hennes specialområden är barn- och ungdomsfilm, genusfrågor och fransk film. Texten ger ingångar till arbete med rörlig bild, både som ett hjälpmedel i en redan befintlig utställning och som en isolerad företeelse.

Ann-Sofie Roxhage
, konstpedagog vid Göteborgs konsthall och Elenor Noble, konstpedagog och kulturproducent vid NOBLE&HAAG – konst, media och kulturarv, har tillsammans författat Lathund i att se och uppleva samtidskonst. De erbjuder handgripliga tips och analysmetoder för att komma närmare samtidskonstverk. Lathunden är hämtad ur publikationen Se Mer! Samtidskonst och lärande som utkom i samband med Göteborgs internationella konstbiennal 2009.

Johan Sjöström, intendent på Göteborgs konstmuseum sammanfattar den rörliga konstbildens historia. Han har här valt ut centrala verk som på olika sätt påverkat dagens videokonst och avslutar med en överskådlig blick på dagens videokonstscen.
