About Festival Images
From September 10 to October 2, 2016, Festival Images Vevey has once again transformed the little town of Vevey into the Swiss capital of photography. Visitors got to discover 75 projects based on the theme of ‘immersion’: large-scale outdoor exhibitions on façades, on the lake and in parks, indoor exhibitions in unusual venues, and joint ventures with people who ensure Vevey’s status as a ‘city of images’ all year round. Entirely free of charge, Festival Images is a true open-air museum as well as a quality platform for national and international artists. Held every two years for a period of three weeks, it enables tens of thousands of visitors to discover the best in contemporary photography. The next edition will be held in 2018, from September 8 to 30.


Pic-me
Using geo-tracking, this online artistic project pinpoints in real time the exact position of posts published on Instagram with the hashtag #me, which the artist then situates precisely on the world map thanks to Google Earth. On the www.pic-me.com website, anyone can do a search and follow a thread of posts according to a hashtag, the name of a place or a specific user profile. After a few minutes, what first looked like a pleasant virtual stroll around the world turns into an act of violation of the private lives of hundreds of millions of users worldwide. The artist sends us back to our own digital identity, our virtual ego, while making us aware of the traces we unwittingly leave on the web.

Pic-Me - Fly to the Locations Where Users Send Posts

Online-Projekt für interaktive Medienkunst-Installationen

Mit Pic-Me kann man virtuell an den Orten fliegen, von wo aus BenutzerInnen zufällig ausgewählte Posts auf Instagram senden. Eine andere Sicht, wie Medien Posts auf sozialen Netzwerken behandeln. Man könnte diese Posts - Bilder oder kurze Videos, versehen mit Kommentaren und Tags - als digitalen Smalltalk oder persönliches Gespräch beschreiben. Aber anders als direkte persönliche Gespräche mehr …
