Mobile Exposure

Microcinema International will be presenting an international exhibition of Mobile Video, Curated by Patrick Lichty. [via list@rhizome.org]

Mobile Exposure will be a traveling theatrical festival which will be released later as a Microcinema DVD.

What are the distinctive qualities of Mobile Video, and how do narratives from this technological set differ from its predecessors? Does the intimacy and mobility of the video-enabled cell phone create a change in perspective? Does it represent a culture of universal surveillance where there is a universal intimacy but a complete lack of private space?

How does the mobile perspective shift our perception in the way the mediated image of the cellular/network individual is represented? Does its low-resolution somehow challenge the aesthetics, 'truthfulness', or technofetishism of the increasingly filmic nature of video?

These are some of the questions that Mobile Exposure hopes to address.
