The world is now personalized, and moving further in this direction with 'i' at the center of everything. iGoogle (personalized web page) hosted a contest, asking students to submit themes, using photography. The digital photography art will go into the library of personalized iGoogle page themes. The result was 3,000+ entries from 80 different countries.
I attended the event last night at the amazing Saatchi Gallery in London, where the winner was announced, Daniel Halasz from Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest. The panel of judges also chose a special winner, Aliyah Hussain from Manchester Metropolitan University. All of the finalist entries were very cool.
We also got a personalized tour of the collections at the gallery which are hand picked by Saatchi and his curators. The philosophy of the Saatchi gallery is to host pieces created by artists that would rarely have the opportunity to show their work in a this forum. The gallery gives a voice to the youth, women, unknown and international artists.
I'm a huge fan now and very inspired!
