From the Urban Dictionary:
"1. Cellutations
slang for cell phone
Call me on the cellutations"

Cellutations is an evolving exhibition of cell-phone art (see "Joe Munroe at McSorley's" by Susan Farricielli), a unique art show whose submissions could come from anywhere in the world. It is an exhibition of instantly captured moments in time—fleeting scenes frozen by, and shared through, technology.

One click, two clicks, and impulse becomes art—a reaction preserved, a passenger's surroundings framed by the window of a moving car.

Images submitted to cellutations@gmail.com, a dedicated e-mail address set up in late March, will be printed and hung in the Arts Council's Sumner McKnight Crosby Jr. Gallery. Selected images will also be posted on the Arts Council's Web site and/or blog.

Works will not be for sale and will be replaced with other submitted cell-phone images as the show evolves.
