The last of the three areas of enquiry was the question of serving art media to mobile telephones. The final report contains more detail on this area in section 7, however, there are two observations we want to make here in relation to the delivery of art media to mobile telephones. Firstly, the type of work artists will produce with the system is obviously out of our remit. For instance, the sample project set contains projects that describe dynamically created art work. Our conception of the project is that the system will be abstracted from considerations of input and output. That is, where location data is obtained from and what artists do with it is not essential to the system. These two areas will be treated as peripheral modules, allowing a range of outputs to be accommodated, including processes created by artists and hosted on external servers.

The second observation is to reinforce the point made in Aesthetics One - the art form extends beyond the screen to include the geographic space and the context of the user. As such the art does not begin and end with the formal qualities of what is on the screen. This is less important than: a seamless link between a user’s everyday space and the ‘art space’ – so no lists of options and links (unless specified by the artist), but direct access from a single URL into the artists work; insinuation into existing commercial communications protocols such as MMS and SMS, enabling artists work with the full range of experience suggested by mobile telephony – these standards will be supported by the system.
