Iterative Screenshot Art - iPhone edition
Not so much Glitch Art, but a way to create your own error-looking iOS homescreen, your own interface aesthetic piece, or simply to prank someone - by squeekycleanideas:
Iterative Screenshot Art - iPhone edition
Step 1) take screenshot of the lock screen with a notification showing (the more the better)
Step 2) make screenshot your homescreen
Step 3) open a folder
Step 4) take screenshot of open folder
Step 5) make screenshot your homescreen
Step 6) take screenshot
Step 7) make screenshot your homescreen
* To take a screenshot of your iPhone, hold the home button and press the power button to snap the shot
Once you have completed these steps, you will have successfully made one of the most intuitive interfaces incredibly confusing. There is something very fun about trying to understand exactly what you are seeing at any given moment. My favorite, at this point, is opening a folder. As the folder opens, and the icons would normally fade out, in this case, they crossfade with fake icons in their place.
Experiment with any combination of the above or add other screenshots to start with.. maybe the mail or calendar app. Let me know if you come across something exciting :)

BRICKiPhone
Latest Free Art Technology project is a fully functional iPhone case for that 80s Manhattan executive look:
See, we know you carry the most ubiquitous device of the yuppie class. You probably also have some really fugly ‘protection cover’ on it, when all you ever wanted in life was to go back to the day anyway, right? Solved.
BRICKiPhone is built from four 3d printed pieces. Insert iPhone earplugs, an iPhone 4/4s and go. It snaps together to transforms your iPhone into the hottest thing since the last time people rocked bricks (including the coveted belt clip). Since it prints in four pieces it can be printed with the at home 3d printer of your choice.
F.A.T. also supplies the files to create your own 3D printed version, which you can find here

Jobs was looking into using Wi-Fi for phone calls (via Crave) 
Now THIS would have been a complete industry game-changer:
Apple might have launched the iPhone without the help of carriers if Steve Jobs & Co. had found a wireless workaround.
IDG today reported that Jobs apparently spent the better part of two years leading up to the release of the company’s first iPhone trying to figure out how to turn Wi-Fi spectrum into a network that users could make phone calls on, as opposed to relying on carriers to get the job done.
Jobs “wanted to replace carriers”, said John Stanton, the chairman of venture capital firm Trilogy Partners, during the Law Seminars International event held in Seattle yesterday. “He and I spent a lot of time talking about whether synthetically you could create a carrier using Wi-Fi spectrum. That was part of his vision.”

A video shot on the iPhone 4S
By Benjamin Dowie:
Holy cow. Time to throw my 7D in the bin.
Got an iPhone 4S yesterday and got up this morning to go for a surf. No surf, so thought I’d shoot some stuff to see what the new camera is like on the 4S. Got home, looked at the footage, and couldn’t believe it came out of a phone. Was so excited so thought I’d quickly cut a vid to share the goodness.
It’s actually amazing. The automatic stabilisation seems to work wonders, and gets rid of most the jello. Depth of field is flipping awesome. Colours are really good straight out the camera, but I did give this footage a slight grade. -
Director’s Cut: Jamie Lidell performing with iMaschine (via Create Digital Music)
Jamie Lidell performs an iMaschine exclusive version of “A Little Bit More” from the album Multiply (2005, Warp) while relaxing in bed. The entire performance was done live in one take, with nothing pre-recorded, and no post-production edits made to the song.
It doesn’t come anywhere near the improvised live stuff he has done before, but done well nevertheless.

Tiny Riot iOS App
Grab your iPhone, hold it tight and shake your fist!
As you shake guitars jam, people scream and you will explode with motion.
Tiny Riot, your tiny riot, will take your frustration,
all that pent up angst, anger, uncertainty and turn it unadulterated,
jarring, and somehow incredibly releasing s.o.u.n.d.
Using it is simple. Shake the phone and out comes the first chord.
After that, it’ll last as long as you can continue to shake, jump, bang,
run, explode - until you feel satisfied or exhausted.
The camera records the entire experience, turning everyday scenery into a tiny riot which you can share with your friends on Twitter or Facebook.
We made this app as a release for our frustration with the uncertainty of post 3.11 Japan.
We hope it can help you too.More info here, which also includes an Atari Teenage Riot version!

Korean mobile carrier KT hosts iPhone film-making workshops via Han Cinema
Last year, KT, the local carrier that was the first to sell iPhones in Korea, invited a dozen renowned cineastes to make short films using the device.
A few months later it launched a competition for ordinary smartphone users to submit works.
Director Lee Joon-ik, who chaired the jury, called smartphone movies a “democratization of cinema” that allows anyone to create in a previous interview with The Korea Times. Winning works of the festival were even invited to compete at the Shanghai International Film Festival recently.In an effort to encourage more talented amateurs to realize their filmmaking dreams, KT runs an academy that not only teaches the technicalities of the creative process but also rents out production equipment.
Renowned cineastes that participated in last year’s iPhone 4 Film Festival give lessons, including Bong Man-dae (“Cinderella”), Yoon Jong-seok (“Marine Boy”), Lee Ho-jae-I (“The Scam”), Lim Pil-seong (“Hansel and Gretel”) and Jeong Yoon-cheol (“A Man Who Was Superman”). Also a regular lecturer is Min Byun-wu, who won the Olleh Lotte Smartphone Film Festival’s grand prize with a homemade pet video.
Aspiring filmmakers that register for these classes come from all walks of life, from corporate workers and housewives to even grade schoolers. -
Pic3D Film Makes Any LCD Display 3D via DigInfo
Instead of buying an expensive 3D device, an alternative is this sticky lenticular sheet at a fraction of the cost:
At the 3D and Virtual Reality Exhibition, Global Wave presented their Pic3D sheet, which when applied to a regular LCD monitor transforms it into a glasses free 3D display.
As opposed to other films already on the market which use a parallax barrier to display the 3D image, Pic3D utilizes a lenticular lens system, Global Wave state that this method offers a light transmission level of 90%, and claim to have improved the field of view to 120°.
“We already announced this product for the iPad at the game show last year, and it was then used on a Fujitsu PC this spring, and now in the sheet form it can be used on all kinds of PCs and smartphones. We are now announcing 6 series of sheets and applications all at one time.”
