Wooster Collective Mobile
"Wooster Mobile" is a Wooster curated art gallery of images which you can download onto your mobile phones in cities around the world. [via near near future]
In their own words:
"Our goal with the Wooster Mobile project is to provide artists with a new revenue stream and at the same time, generate funds for a terrific cause.
Each artist receives a royalty payment from every download you make of their work. In addition, all of the Wooster Collective revenue is being donated to a wonderful non-profit organization called Keep A Child Alive. Keep A Child Alive provides life saving drugs to children and families who are dying of AIDS in Africa simply because they don't have access to the drugs that can save and prolong their lives.
