Mobile Art Watch Project

Recently SHIFT has started MOBILE ART WATCH PROJECT, on which we distribute artistsf works through a mobile phone, in collaboration with Crypton Future Media. This project was launched following MOBILE ART COMPETITION, one of the competitions held by SHIFT to discover fresh creators and support their activities. You can download the works on the official site of Crypton Future Media with a mobile phone of Au or SoftBank (only in Japan), and use them as a watch.

For the website use, the Blog-parts version is now available. (Limited time offer)
