Exhibiting the beauty and edginess that comes out of the minds of
some of the world's best iPhone photographers, OCCCA is excited to present Pixels: The Art of
iPhone Photography.
All of the photos in this exhibition were shot and
processed using an iPhone camera. Unique vision along with the vast
selection of photo-processing applications available on the iPhone has allowed
each artist to create stunning images which reflect their true personalities.
>From minimal to abstract, black and white to extreme color, subtle to hard
graphic, true emotion can be found in these
photos.
Exhibition dates: March 31 - April 28, 2011
Opening: Saturday,
April 2, 2011, 6 PM-10
PM
Curated by Knox Bronson, Jeff T.
Alu, Daniel Berman, and Maia
Panos.

"The iPhone IS a simple, limited, almost awful
camera, which is part of its great allure for me personally. I also love the
apps we use to manipulate the images. Every iphonographer has a "toolkit" of
apps he or she favors. The images we see are not manipulated as those in
advertisements, or fashion magazines, or playboy, to sell something, but rather
to bring out the greater truth of the image for the artist - and this is where,
as much as the initial shot, the artist's personality emerges. The rule for
the show (and our website) is no manipulation on a
computer. It is a mistake, though an easy one to make, to compare
iPhontography to traditional photography. It is a new medium, which
begins with the photographic process."

"With the advent of digital photography, the art form went through an
enormous revolution, one which was not at first fully embraced by the
chemical-clad photographic community. Over time, tolerance of this new method of
capturing light became more common, and digital photography has since been
thrust into acceptance, even by hard core traditionalists. Since then, the
cameras themselves have undergone numerous refinements, and now, with the
addition of smartphones to the light-gathering lineup, it's possible to shoot,
process, and upload photos to the world right from the palm of your hand."

"iPhoneography is a
unique medium - you can shoot, process and post on one device from virtually
anywhere. I suspect such features will become standard in the next several years
on many devices but today the iphone is miles ahead of the game. In fact, this
era may be remembered as the golden age. The online world has become a salon for
the greatest realtime photographic exhibition in history and I'm just glad to be
a part of it." -Curator Daniel Berman

"For me iphone
photography is a challenging art form with what seems endless possibilities. It
is always interesting to see what happens next with each new photo. You never
know what direction it will take. I get so much satisfaction from taking a raw
photo and transforming it into something completely different. Iphone
photography brought me back into my art and I love it. It is a new and exciting
art form which I am happy to be a part of."
