Cell Rules: The Lounge launched Creative Time’s Airtime: A Series of Wireless Art Projects, an exploration of how wireless technology fragments both public and private space, creating new artistic territory. The “cellular lounge,” a series of art projects, was designed by a selection of contemporary artists to encourage visitors to relax, make a call, and contemplate cellular society. These projects recognized how cell phones have changed both artistic and curatorial practices, acting as both the canvas and the paintbrush. Produced with special thanks to index Magazine and the Meat Market Art Fair.
