The 2007 Portable Worlds program presents both exhibition and youth workshop programs to inspire and educate new creative producers.
Portable Worlds is a survey of contemporary Australian new media artists working specifically for the mobile phone screen. The selected works reflect on the changing shape of communication and community, utilise the mobile phone as a creation tool and a personalised viewing space, explore miniatures and reflect on movement through Australian spaces. The project also incorporates a two-day workshop developed to complement the exhibition is available for young artists 13 - 19 years. Portable Worlds 1st Edition grew from a successful emerging program, pixel.play, touring to Mount Gambier, Port Lincoln, Berri and Port Augusta over 2007/2008.
