iWitness Mobile, Picture Your World.
iWitness is an interactive photo gallery
for your mobile phone. It reflects how the mainstream news media
pictures our world and how, in contrast, a spontaneous community of
mobile and online photo bloggers observe that same world through the camera lens. Enjoy your news with a fresh perspective.

On your phone you can passively observe and actively contribute to the news and photos on display. See what the mainstream news media are reporting right now or recall a moment in history. When you come across a news item of particular interest you can request a "Fresh Perspective". This will generate and display an entirely new collection of images that broaden, and at times push the limits of, your associations with the original news item. eg. Iran is not simply a nuclear nation. And Bush can quite often be shrubbery... At any time you can share your own news and views by
publishing them directly from your mobile phone. Each item thus shared
becomes immediately available to everyone else on their mobile
phones. And so the iWitness Community is born. Each published item also appears on the online Internet blog, the iWitness Mobile Community Journal. This
acts as a forum to share and discuss news items with the broader online
community. You can also enjoy an online slideshow of the photos contributed by members of the iWitness Community hosted on flickr.com. As you view the show you can click on the photos to learn more about them. Please note, copyrighted images or text presented by iWitness Mobile remain the property of the original copyright owner. |
