We have featured this app several times on theappwhisperer, it’s an app that’s bursting with intrigue and imagination. Carol Golemboski uses antiquated objects as metaphors in carefully staged scenes. Her process, defined by the use of black and white film and traditional darkroom printing, combines photography and drawing in ambiguous and provocative ways. Her psychologically charged still life images draw on past eras to suggest the continuum of human emotions and anxieties, particularly relating to the experience of women.
It’s a thoroughly immersing and intelligent app and it has been updated for iOS 8 but is compatible with iOS 6 onwards. Usually Psychometry retails for $4.99/£2.99 but from now until the end of October it is free. Click here to download and ‘lose’ yourselves for a little while.
Joanne Carter, creator of the world’s most popular mobile photography and art website— TheAppWhisperer.com— TheAppWhisperer platform has been a pivotal cyberspace for mobile artists of all abilities to learn about, to explore, to celebrate and to share mobile artworks. Joanne’s compassion, inclusivity, and humility are hallmarks in all that she does, and is particularly evident in the platform she has built. In her words, “We all have the potential to remove ourselves from the centre of any circle and to expand a sphere of compassion outward; to include everyone interested in mobile art, ensuring every artist is within reach”, she has said.
Promotion of mobile artists and the art form as a primary medium in today’s art world, has become her life’s focus. She has presented lectures bolstering mobile artists and their art from as far away as the Museum of Art in Seoul, South Korea to closer to her home in the UK at Focus on Imaging. Her experience as a jurist for mobile art competitions includes: Portugal, Canada, US, S Korea, UK and Italy. And her travels pioneering the breadth of mobile art includes key events in: Frankfurt, Naples, Amalfi Coast, Paris, Brazil, London.
Pioneering the world’s first mobile art online gallery - TheAppWhispererPrintSales.com has extended her reach even further, shipping from London, UK to clients in the US, Europe and The Far East to a global group of collectors looking for exclusive art to hang in their homes and offices. The online gallery specialises in prints for discerning collectors of unique, previously unseen signed limited edition art.
Her journey towards becoming The App Whisperer, includes (but is not limited to) working for a paparazzi photo agency for several years and as a deputy editor for a photo print magazine. Her own freelance photographic journalistic work is also widely acclaimed. She has been published extensively both within the UK and the US in national and international titles.

Joanne,
First thank you for the link, am downloading as I type this out.
I am doing a lot of personal work in B/W. Which brings me to this. The idea of seduction of color. To get to an emotional impact of an image, it is usually a limited palette painting or a monotone/ duo tone photo that helps the viewer grasp or intuit the the abstract aspect of emotion or emotional response.
Reminds me of the mid to late 90s voyager CD-ROM Scrutiny and the big round ( I do not remember if that is the official title ). Looking forward to getting lost in a dreamscape void with this.
Be well.
Laurence
