The museum is the first US exhibit to showcase an entire collection devoted to the cell phone. The show, dubbed Cell Phone: Art and the Mobile Phone, features more than 30 international artists, from video great Nam June Paik to new media collective, Informationlab. The mix of programmers, mixed-media and urban artists highlight the impact of cell phones on everyday life. The exhibit, on display until April 22, shows off a mash-up of camera phones, videophones, global positioning systems, Bluetooth technology, ring tones and messaging tech.
