Check Out The New Kodak Instamatic 2014 Android Smartphone Concept
Well, take a look at this, many of us have owned a Kodak Instamatic at some point in our lives and this new concept Instamatic Android Smartphone looks very much like it could the new version for the future, or most likely a very good spoof. It looks like an amalgamation of retro design with new technology. It’s not thin and sleek like the iPhone 5 or Samsung S4 but apparently does feature a viewfinder. According to Kodak ,the Instamatic 2014 will (if the concept develops) be available in three models. The Instamatic 14w and 14 – each will come with 14 MP cameras and the other, known as the…
Fifth Generation iPad To Launch In September 2013
Well the rumor sites are awash with news right now that the brand new Apple iPad 5 will launch in September 2013, with the second generation iPad Mini (which we hope picks up a retina screen) soon afterwards.

NEM/The Hungry Ghost – ‘Void’ Competition – Reworked!
Last month we published details of the NEM and The Hungry Ghost Facebook group competition. This competition involved artists creating artwork that depicted the term ‘Void’. Sixteen artists’ works were selected and these then went to a public vote. Finally the top three were determined and their t-shirts auctioned off for charity. The charities were to be determined but recently it was annouced that Edyta Lipinska a most talented mobile photographer/artist was experiencing very difficult and expensive health issues.

The Iron Books – a new iPhone Photography Exhibition in London
The Gasoline Rooms are proud to host the visual and textual work of Andreas Philippopoulos Mihalopoulos. The Iron Books is a series of thirty material poems that trace, photographically and textually, the posthuman condition. The works originate in Instagram, shot and written instantly without editing. They are here transposed onto metal books that oscillate between the fleeting and the monumental.

The show is curated by aKwamarina. A limited edition publication designed by Sakis Kyratzis will be on sale. The specially commissioned soundscape on…
