As more an more people have mobile phones, PDAs, iPods and other pocket devices capable of playing both audio and video, a whole new means of distributing content is emerging. With these devices often any to communicate via wireless internet or bluetooth it is possible to spread radical content in a viral fashion beyond the traditional realms of the internet.
At the rampART this thursday there will be a pilot project running that will provide an publicly accessible archive of radical video content. Anyone with a bluetooth enabled video phone should be able to browse the archive and download films of their choosing. Films available include many recent indymedia videos found on the newswire plus everyones favorite Bush and Blair mash-ups.
Having downloaded these films (typically around 1.5MB for 4mins), you can then share them with friends or strangers by bluetooth anywhere you meet.
The rampART is a squatted social centre that can be found at 15 rampart street, London E1 2LA. The free cinema starts at 8pm, every thursday and this weeks feature is Syriana, a political thriller about spys, oil and dodgy underhand dealings by big business and western governments.
