possible worlds

The mobile phone camera has become a window to the world, a ubiquitious
media device recording the emphemera of our daily lives. So what happens
when you take these little low resolution images off the phone and blow
them up into large photographic prints?

“The Order of Magnitude” is a photographic exhibition with a difference.

Working from a manifesto that embraces the “Low Res” and celebrates
the visual digital debris produced by the mobile-phone camera
are a group of 4 artists determined to explore the unique qualities
and constraints afforded by the mobile phone camera.

Using enlarged photographs and video from mobile-phones to explore
notions of place and memory, this exhibition presents the viewer with
an engaging representation of the familiar, the mundane and the everyday.

The exhibition opens August 14, 2007 at The First Site Gallery.
Located at the vaulted basement of Storey Hall at 344 Swanston St, Melbourne.
