The Peabody Award-winning “Studio 360 with Kurt Andersen,” from PRI and WNYC, is public radio’s smart and surprising guide to what’s happening in pop culture and the arts. Each week, Kurt introduces you to the people who are creating and shaping our culture.
Listen to the show on your local public radio station or online.
Studio 360 in Japan is supported, in part, by the Freeman Foundation and the United States-Japan Foundation.
You asked about people making art on their cellphones. 90% of photo collages and panoramas on my Flickr were shot with an iPhone.
Some, like these two sets:

Panolab http://www.flickr.com/photos/p0ps/sets/72157616627038997/
were created entirely on the phone – uploaded from it as well.
In addition, I’ve been using the iPhone to shoot and post “10 Second Videos”:

Merce Cunningham was not only a pioneer of dance but an avid explorer of new technologies. His work with the computer software Lifeforms as well as his continued film collaborations with artists Eliot Caplan and Charlie Atlas established him as a choreographer with an eye for expanding the possibilities of movement into other media. Even in the final two years of his life the story was no different. In 2008 Merce opened the doors of his studio in unprecedented fashion, agreeing to not only allow his company’s rehearsals and performances be filmed, but also to be regularly interviewed. This wealth of footage, now tallying fifteen hours of Merce Cunningham in conversation, over one hundred hours of Merce Cunningham teaching class and two hundred and fifty hours of rehearsals, has served well to produce a bi-monthly series of webisodes entitled Mondays with Merce. Enjoy!
Hi Kurt,
I have a habit of checking out the Freshly Pressed blogs featured on the WordPress.com homepage because I like most of them. Just recently I became curious about the impact being Freshly Pressed has on a blog and its author(s). I realize I will get a wide variety of responses to this – at least I hope I do – so instead of posing a bunch of questions I thought it would be best to let featured bloggers do what they do…write about it in their own words. I am waiting to see if anyone has a negative reaction from the new fame – wouldn’t that be ironic!
I’d be very interested to see how it affected a Peabody winning radio host and tweeter with over 8,000 followers. Maybe you have seen an increase in streaming listeners to your show?
I look forward to hearing from you, and congrats on being Freshly Pressed!
Best,
Zach
