"Hipstamatic is a digital photography application for the Apple iPhone. This application uses the iPhone camera to allow the user to take square pictures, to which it applies a series of software filters, in order to make the images appear to be shot with an old film camera. The user can choose from a number of effects that are presented in the application as "lenses", "movies" and "flashes". The Hipstamatic application is based on the cheap plastic 100 Hipstamatic analog camera, supposedly developed in early 1980 by Bruce and Winston Dorbowski that was a commercial failure, selling less than 200 units. It has been "experienced" by various artists around the world, with an ever greater success for its rapid spread on social networks”.
The Colectivo f4 in collaboration with the creators of “Hipstamatic Portugal” facebook page, will carry out an international exhibition of works, open to all creators of images with the Hipstamatic app for iPhone.
The exhibition will run from May 5 to 25, 2012 in the Gallery of the Colectivo f4 - Porta 22 - at Ferraz Rd, 22-Porto, Portugal
