Cellfish.com unveils first mobile-generated collective artwork at NY Fusion Painting Workshop

Cellfish.com, the online mobile entertainment portal, announced that it has partnered with an international art workshop, led by teaching artists Olivier di Pizio and Gonzalo Belmonte of the Ateliers des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris, to create the first-ever mobile-generated collective artwork on its Fusion Art channel.

The workshop will bring together 20 French and American painters to create a provocative experience through art collaboration. For the first time, these artists also will be using camera phones to populate a collective media blog on Cellfish.com in real time. Internet users will be able to access this intimate look at the workshop on Cellfish.com, as well as receive the artists’ creations instantaneously on their cell phones by clicking on the “subscribe for free” button. The collective digital creation will be displayed at an exhibition at the FIAF Gallery in New York, July 16–27.
 
“We wanted to offer Cellfish.com to the most innovative of all audiences — artists — to see how they leverage our technology to create new forms of expression and communication,” said Fabrice Sergent, CEO of Cellfish Media. “Their work will provide Internet users with a first glimpse of what we believe will become the ultimate tool for instantaneous collective expression.”
