“The Imperfect Human Hand May Become the Most Radical Artistic Gesture of All” — Jane Schultz on AI and Photography
Over the years, through TheAppWhisperer, I have had the privilege of not only publishing the work of some of the world’s most influential mobile artists but also forming genuine friendships with many of them. Jane Schultz is one of those artists. I first met Jane and her husband, Dave, in London some years ago, and what struck me immediately was her depth of thought, her warmth, and her unwavering commitment to authentic creative practice. Jane has long been one of the most respected voices within the mobile art community, creating work that is emotionally rich, layered and deeply personal. Jane is also one of the artists I represent through TheAppWhisperer…
Michelle Sank on AI, Photography, Truth and Authenticity
Michelle Sank on AI, Photography and the Future of Seeing Michelle Sank was one of the first photographers I thought of when I started putting this series together. Born in South Africa and later settling in Britain, her work has often explored questions of identity, belonging and displacement, examining how people navigate social, cultural and personal change. Over the years, Sank has photographed communities, families and individuals with a quiet sensitivity that allows stories to emerge rather than be imposed upon the viewer. Her projects have taken her from South Africa to the UK and beyond, often focusing on those whose lives lie at the edges of broader political and…
Between Photography and AI: A Conversation with Dan Marcolina

“The Integrity of the Fine Artist Must Be Preserved” — Rita Colantonio on AI and Photography
Over the past few years, much of my writing and photographic research has increasingly centred on questions of memory, grief, spectatorship, and photographic truth. I have become deeply interested in how photographs shape emotional understanding, how images linger in the mind, influence perception, and quietly alter how we remember experiences long after the moment itself has passed. Photography has never simply been about documentation; it is tied to absence, intimacy, trauma and belief. We do not merely look at photographs; we inhabit them emotionally. At the same time, through my work at TheAppWhisperer, I have spent almost two decades observing and documenting the evolution of mobile photography and digital art from…

We are delighted to bring you the twenty sixth in our ‘Mobile Art and Photography that has Influenced Me’ series of interviews here at TheAppWhisperer. I created this series of interviews to offer an opportunity to artists, to help to appreciate one another. When artists share their art, I interpret it as if they are baring their souls. To put work in the public domain, takes fierce trust, to oneself, of the process, not the outcome, the outcome cannot matter. When another artist explains how this art affects them emotionally and spiritually, it gives motivation to artists, to keep creating, to realise the influence they have, throughout the world, to give…
