While planning my photography day at the London Art Fair this week I also came across a very interesting exhibition which would be great to go see. The exhibition at the Orange Dot Gallery, which has just started this week examines the success of the modern 'hipstamatic camera' and its revolution. For anyone else who didn't know (just like me) the exhibition features photographs taken using an iPhone App which recreates the experience of an old hipstamatic analogue camera on a modern camera phone. Awarded ‘application of the year’ by Apple, it has quickly attracted a mass of followers and self-made photographers. The exhibition will display 157 photographs taken from hipstamatics.com, the works themselves are not artistically challenging, but the charm of the exhibition lies in its investigation into instant technology within modern society.
