Sony Holds the World’s First Real-Time Digital Photography Exhibition
Imagine a photography exhibition in which all the photographs on the walls are being captured by their respective photographers in real-time around the world. That’s the kind of show Sony put on this past Thursday in London: the world’s first real-time digital photography exhibition.
Having Internet-connectivity allowed the photogs to beam their images to the The Loading Bay Gallery in real-time, displaying over 200 street photographs on the gallery’s 14 screens as they were being shot throughout the night. Visitors to the exhibition were treated with a photographic taste of what was happening on the streets of each city.
London-based photographer Mitesh Tailor was on hand to experience the unique event. Here are some photos showing what it was like:
This real-time exhibition may have been the world’s first, but we’re guessing it won’t be the last. Newer digital cameras are coming out with not just Wi-Fi, but 3G/4G, so this type of show will only get easier as cameras become capable of connecting to the web from anywhere there’s a cell phone tower.
Update: Here’s an official video showing what went down:
