A new public art ‘mobile blogging' website - called the Big Art Mob - is now live. The site at www.channel4.com/bigartmob is designed to build a web-based resource and community ahead of next year's Big Art Project television series on Channel 4 and with a life well beyond the broadcast.

[‘Mobile blogging' involves sending photos, text and other media direct from your mobile phone to appear within seconds on a widely accessible website.]

The Big Art Mob invites people to help make the UK's first comprehensive map of public art by sending photos (and text, video or audio, if they so desire) to do with public art straight from their mobile phones. Using a combination of Google Maps, a geo-coding facility  and ‘tags' (i.e. labels/keywords - created by the senders and viewers alike), these photos and moblog ‘posts' will collectively form an interactive map to celebrate and preserve the country's wealth of public art.
