INTRODUCTION

Brazil 2009: over 150 million mobile phones.

Mobilefest – International Festival of Mobile Art and Creativity, an
event that intends to question and discuss the coming of new mobile
technologies in their relations with the most varied sectors of society,
being the first international festival of its kind. Our main objective
is to provide a multifaceted and heterogeneous environment of
discussions, actions and creations that through the virtualities of the
new mobile technologies, aim intelligent solutions to solve and discuss
questions that afflict contemporary society.

The efforts upon new communication technologies is based on the
perception of its exponential growth - over 4 billion active mobile
phones in the world nowadays - and its crescent use not only in
communication between people but in activities related to education,
social inclusion, varied artistic productions, entertainment, safety,
content production and distribution, making of social nets, activist
actions, health, commerce, advertising, etc.


HISTORY

The I Mobilefest was launched in November, 2006, an international
seminar and exhibition, that happened in Sao Paulo, at Sesc Paulista,
with free and live transmission over the internet. The seminar counted
with the participation of 36 artists and researchers, 16 of which from
abroad, and 20 from Brazil. The II Mobilefest (2007) gathered 26 artists
and researchers from abroad and 28 Brazilian artists and researchers. We
held a 3 day seminar, 2 day boot camp - MobileActive at Mobilefest – and
a 30 day international exhibition at Sesc Paulista Gallery.

As its programme grew more widely, the great news were simultaneous
events in England (University of Westminster), in Holland, (The Waag
Society) and in the US (New York University - ITP and California - USC)
through video conferences and presential meetings in those countries.
Regarding the audio-visual segment, Mobilefest consolidated the wish of
creating an international net of festivals about mobile content production.

The event also counted with the launch of recognition awards for the
best works and mobile applications, the 1st Mobilefest Awards, that
granted best works in the categories of Photojournalism, SMS Writing
(poetry and micro-story), videos, moblogs and videologs.

Also in 2007 Mobilefest became part of the official calendar of the city
of Sao Paulo.

Mobilefest’s third edition took place at MIS - Museu da Imagem e do Som
(Museum of Image and Sound) and amplified its activities including
artistic performances in areas of heavy traffic of Sao Paulo’s citizens
like underground stations where over 2 million people circulate daily.
The Exhibition and Seminar had 14 foreign artists and researchers and 27
from Brazil, generating excellent background for interchange among them
and the audience as well.


OBJETICVES

* Popularise mobile technology so to contribute with social inclusion
