Cell phones as art. A recap of stunning examples

Artwork that focuses on the mobile phone from dialaphone. Most have been posted on textually before, but it's nice to have them all gathered in one place.

One of my favorites, above, was a multi-media art project completed in Germany in 2000. "Old mobile phones were artistically decorated by children to make the phones look like birds. The bird-phones were then placed into an artistic background resembling a tree. The phones had been programmed with bird calls that occasionally rang from the art exhibit."

More works here and here.
