Zusammenfassung:This book explores from an aesthetic perspective how mobile phone technology, including mobile phone cameras, are used, and the impact this has on individual creativity and innovation, and on culture, sociality and aesthetics. Based on extensive original research including an ethnographic investigation of how specific images were created and distributed, it argues not that a new form of individual creativity is occurring, rather that a more distributed form of creativity now exists. It analyses the specific features of this, including compositional strategies, what messages individuals are seeking to express as revealed by blogs, and how such digital images represent a new kind of mass, generalised expressivity, a "natural language" or semiotic system. Throughout the book relates specific individual images to the wider issues being discussed"--
