Concept
Nowadays, communication is considered a basic human activity by means of which human beings relate to each other and individuals become involved in a community. The model of dialogic communication appears, positing communication as a process in which two or more human beings or communities exchange and share experiences, knowledge and feelings, though they might do so at remote distances and through artificial means.

Based on these premises of Communication Theory, we propose the creation of instant communities, where the subject is no longer passive but becomes an active emitter of messages, where his or her life is represented in brief “information capsules.”  We understand that current mobile/cellular communication systems still allow the free exchange of information between users.

Project
This piece puts forth the possibility of creating telematic systems where communication is based on cell phones. Participants can send SMS messages and photographs to a system that receives and automatically forwards them to a website where they are uploaded.
