Grooming high-tech Michelangelos, using iPhone to create art
iPhone’s perhaps the best thing that’s happened to us in this decade and there’s no denying if you understand technology. The Smartphone, word personified by the iPhone itself, has been used to create all sorts of things. A Pandora's Box of application makes the iPhone a gold mine for Apple and keeps all content with what all the iPhone can do. Yet people with zeal to exhibit what iPhone actually does come up with ideas like the iPhone orchestra and the ‘iPhone Art’ class.
To cite iPhone’s legitimacy as an art-making tool, Mr. Nourse, a co-founder of the Chicago Art Department, has initiated a five-week class called “iPhone Art”. This is Nourse’s idea to prove what the majorly hipped iPhone can do. Enrolled in the course to be groomed as high-tech Michelangelos are eight students, who’ll use the iPhone’s touchscreen and features to break into mainstream art producing a project each for a public exhibition titled “iPhone Therefore iArt,” which opens January 8 in the organization’s Pilsen gallery.
