The art and events programme picks up on the topic of user generated content for urban screens with the participatory project 15 x 15 by Richard Vickers. In 1968
Andy Warhol stated that; In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15
minutes. Using Warhols statement as a premise, 15x15 advances the statement
into the 21st century; with new media technology everyone can be world
famous....for 15 seconds. Participants will be able to contribute to the piece
using a standard mobile camera phone that can capture video, and can send video
clips directly from their camera phone using MMS (Multimedia Message Service),
or upload from a personal computer to the online database at www.15x15.org. Register
