I’m amazed at how fast and impressively iphone/ipod finger painting has taken off! Congratulations to everyone who made this exhibition happen.

Another thing that strikes me is how many more people can be involved in making art. Those who never attempted because material cost and getting space to create was prohibitive. Now anyone with the slightest desire or curiosity can try. They have their phone or iPod, all it takes is a few inexpensive apps to get stared. About the cost of a latte. And making art, like meditation is definitely good for the soul.

Great article Benj! I think this event is even more important for the Art path than we thought.

With all that potential showed (paintings, music, photo, video, animation) all coming from a "simple" iPhone AND the fact that some of us could be there through a streamed video (provided by an iPhone too!!), I would say that we've just lived a very important moment of contemporany Art and how this Art is going to be saw. Congratulations everybody!!!
