Inspired by Worthing & Adur council adopting a red telephone box (fab exhibition space!) on the corner of Steyne Gardens and the seafront in Worthing, phonie art is about looking at the type, level and quality of images/artwork you can get from a mobile phone.
phonie art has now been launched on facebook

and Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/phonieart/
People can upload to facebook, and from there I am posting the images on phonie art's flickr page.
phonie art as is is a really wide concept. I think that to really make it work it has to be broken down into themes - almost like a photography competition - maybe focussing on that theme for a month at a time.
Pilot local - 'phonie Worthing' and 'phonie Littlehampton'
Mobile phone cameras are often accepted more than a dSLR is.
People have their phones with them virtually all of the time.
The images I really want to see are those off the beaten photography path, away from picture postcard Worthing/Littlehampton.
A finger-tip document of the town(s) - the small, the quirky, the often unseen, the usual and everyday - but with a different take/perspective.
A major factor is its collectivity, collaboration - a community documented by those that form it, that belong to it.
