Aperture at The New School: Confounding Expectations: The Space Between: Redefining Public and Personal in Smartphone
When: Thursday, October 30th, 6:00 – 8:00 pm Where: The New School, Theresa Lang Community & Student Center 55 West 13th StreetFree Admission
Join visual strategist Stephen Mayes and photographers Henry Jacobson, Kerry Payne, Mark Peterson, and Danny Ghitis of Echo/Sight for a panel discussion on the public and personal in smartphone photography. With more than one billion images uploaded every day, we live in a truly visual world, where the smartphone has opened the door to visual creativity for nearly half the world’s population. Images flow as freely as words, and everyone is part of the visual conversation. But what are we saying, and what does it mean when the smartphone knows more about your pictures than you do—when the instrument joins the conversation as cocreator and publisher? Technology and psychology commingle as we venture into a world of unknown opportunity and risk. The discussion will open new perspectives on the seemingly innocent simplicity of our visual lives online.
