I am planning to videoconference in to II Mobilefest - International Festival of Mobile Art and Creativity next Thursday:

Composed by technical and cultural activities, II MOBILEFEST - International Festival of Mobile Art and Creativity - includes an international seminar, qualification workshops, international exhibition and recognition awarding for the best mobile works and applications. Different from other national and international festivals, MOBILEFEST was created for the mobile era and therefore, is the first festival that accepts submissions of texts, pictures and videos via SMS, MMS or WAP.

The effort of the event on these new communication technologies is based on the perception of its exponential growth - at present, there are nearly 3 billion active mobiles in the world - and its crescent use not only for communication between people but, also for educational activities, social inclusion, varied artistic productions, entertainment, security, content production and distribution, configuration of sociability nets, activist actions about health, commerce, advertising, etc.
