Lynch-ing mobiles


Artists don’t know better – they know different. But with access to creative tools such as mobiles, who isn’t an artist? Creativity can be enhanced with our mobiles to become a seamless, everyday activity. Mobiles, and online life generally, challenge and expand our notion of ourselves by increasingly exposing our relationship with art, making us virtually abstract. Through our presence on Flickr, RSVP, Gaydar, Myspace, Twitter, Facebook we become processes of still and moving images in constant flux across physical and virtual worlds. Photos and videos of events, things and mates; avatars, blog posts and status updates all add to our broadcasted selves – merging our virtual existence with physical presence. David Lynch’s creativity has had a significant impact on our screened culture, and the ideas in his films become increasingly important as we lead increasingly screened existences. With our mobiles we have the ability to position his ideas in our virtual personas. Just as we personalise media, why should cinema be different? Lynch’s art might no longer be perceived as two-hour shrines to the director at the cinema, rather his films can be adapted and accompany our existence on our own screens.
