Cellphone Art: Rob Pettit

According to Rob Pettit, "We've become a technology-dependent generation. Take a look at communication for example. What used to be simple smoke signals used by our cavemen ancestors have grown to alphabets, letters, telegraphs, and now telecommunication."


Mobile phones used to be a fad, now it has become a commodity. With human culture leaning more towards globalization and a fast paced lifestyle, mobile phones will become a more prominent part of our existence.

One only has to take a look at the steady influx of latest mobile phones to see how much this trend has developed through the years.


As a creator of avant garde art, Rob Pettit has seized the opportunity to create a picture showing how much we've become entangled with technology, in this case mobile phones.


To do this, he has taken mobile phones as a medium and a central theme of many of his artworks. His gallery showcases these. Feel free to have a look and see if he has successfully delivered a poignant message.
