If Hugh Hefner can call Play Boy art, then I guess taking photos is considered art, espically if it's naked women! Beats looking at pictures of soup can labels right? NED John,

The influx of advancements in technology defines the way we technically and conceptually create. This is evident in the way we work, live, and play. Yes, there are people who upload picture as an album to share with friends, but there are serious artist who are taking these advancements and making them there own. Craft can be defined as skill in doing or making something, as in the arts. Art can be defined as human effort to imitate, supplement, alter, or counteract the work of nature. This is the requirement of art. So taking a picture on a mobile device is art, if that is the users intention. I don't create my art for commercial purpose and there are many artists just the same. I'm taking a mobile lab class at UT Dallas and there is much that is being done with mobile devices in a more creative way. Yes, mobile phone pictures can be considered art.
