Two New Editors for our Mobile Movies Column – Vanessa Vox and Giulia Baita
We are delighted to announce two new editors for our Mobile Movies Column, Vanessa Vox and Giulia Baita. Both are hugely supportive of this new and developing medium and are planning to invigorate this group. Baita obtained a degree in History and Contemporary Art and studies and supports examinations in History of Cinema at the University of Cagilari. She is a Professor of Italian and History and continues to cultivate her passion for art. Vox, studied Art History and Archaeology in Aix-en-Provence. In 2003, whilst in Switzerland, she began to explore the possibilities of digital art and video editing in collaboration with her husband. You can read more about these fabulous editors below.
Our new Mobile Movies Column will continue along the theme that we have always had, with artists uploading their short films to our Flickr group and thus our editors curating, commenting and publishing the videos and it will also include a more journalistic take on mobile filming as well as focusing on Street Movies and Art Movies. We can’t wait to bring you more!
TheAppWhisperer is growing at a phenomenal rate and trying to include as much unique content and variety from the mobile photography world as our readers can possibly digest, you really don’t need to go anywhere else!
Please join us in warmly welcoming Vanessa Vox and Giulia Baita to TheAppWhisperer family, welcome to you both!
