London’s first all Digital art Gallery using Sony Tablet Z

Sony has partnered with Tyler Shields, the USA superstar photographer,  to bring his art exhibition to London’s first all-digital art gallery powered by their Android Tablets.

Androidbloke is all about living the digital lifestyle using Android so when we were invited by the bods at Sony to hang out with the cool kids at their pop up art gallery in trendy London’s Brick lane area, we were over there pretty sharpish after work.

Sony are really great at always trying to seek our new ways to bring their technology to new audiences, and today was no exception.  Sony had outfitted the gallery with 50 of its latest Sony Tablet Z devices which were each displaying a selection of Tyler’s amazing photographs.

Tyler’s exhibition dubbed ” The Science of Colour” had him throwing paint and color over good looking people in stark landscapes like desert dunes.  The result is amazing and something is really innovative and unique.  I have put in some of the images into the post so you can see the effect.

All-Digital Art Gallery with Sony Tablet Z

I for one was quite skeptical about how good the exhibition would be as what could be different from viewing it just on a computer?? I was wrong.. Big time.

The Sony tablets with their high resolution screens(224ppi 1920×200 if you must know)  and amazing color contrast turned what was beautiful pictures into even more detailed spectacular views.  The detail of each of the photos had to be experienced first hand and made you see so many more nuances.  Also the fact that they were set against black reflective background, it made it stand out even more ( but was a nightmare to photograph)

Digital Art is one that you can touch and explore

The most interesting observation was that because it was a tablet, I noticed something amazing: People were reaching out and touching the artworks- they were pinching and zooming and exploring the images in more depth than if they were just fleetingly looked at on a webpage.  But maybe that is what digital art is really about.
