Virtual gallery to be filled by your pictures
Ico, Goshka Macuga and mwr collaborated on an installation which allows members of the public to send in their own artwork via mobile camera-phone for display in this ‘virtual gallery’.
The challenge was to seamlessly integrate basic, and often low-resolution, camera-phone imagery into a polished, virtual environment. SHOWCASES is a cinematic sequence of intriguing rooms, staircases and dramatic corridors – beautifully shot in black and white by photographer Nigel Spalding. The result is a constantly updated piece of artwork in ever changing environments.
As the main installation tours the UK, the SHOWCASES website also allows people to view their submissions online at any time at:
