The4thScreen: a global fest of art & innovation for mobile phones focuses on the emerging cultural, technological and social phenomenon of mobile phones.
“We are at the moment when everybody, from the media moguls to Vietnamese peasants – artists, hackers, activists, businesses and governments are trying to grasp the impact, the power, of this new phenomenon…. trying to claim a part of it. There is still a lot of space for great ideas, to fulfill dreams and real needs. I hope the Festival will serve as a catalyst and influence this process… ”
