Photomessage your expressions

Alan Reiter in Cameraphone report describes UK cellular operator Orange's photo contest for camera phone users.

The contest, Expressionist, wants photos of different expressions: Happy, surprised, angry, smug, bored, sad, guilty, scared, confused.

The exhibition will be held in a London art gallery where the photos will comprise an interactive video mural, which will display a range of human emotions onto the walls at your prompt.

"You stare at the wall. The wall stares back. You smile at the wall. A thousand faces smile back. You pull the face -- be it happy, sad or confused -- and you control the show." Cool.
