DMW Mixer Tomorrow evening from 7-10pm, DMW and The Deity Group will bring a first to the art world at The Venice Contemporary in Los Angeles.  Dubbed an Art Download Party, the event will bring together technology and the art world as never before.  Attendees with a cell phone or PDA (so, in other words, everyone) will be able to download free, exclusive content like wallpaper and ring tones from the artists and the band, Population Game, at the gallery.  Vector Mobile is running the download end, and the open bar (not a first in the art world, but always appreciated) will be provided by Red Bull, Effen Vodka, AGWA, and The Heroes.  Everyone’s welcome, but an RSVP is required...and we nearly have a full house right now, so get on it fast!  Hope to see you there!

Video blogging, or vlogging, is getting more and more popular. GameNetTV, a new video network built strictly for gamers, recently vlogged DMW's and the Deity Group's Art Download Party at the Venice Contemporary. Mr. Mike looked at the art, ate a turkey sandwich and hung out with "the cool kids".

Deity GroupThe Venice Contemporary Art Gallery co-founders Nathan Spoor, L. Croskey and Bill Lucas are on a mission to make fine art cool. One of the ways they do that is to use young people’s favorite medium of choice – the cell phone. How? Well, to find out I guess you just have to attend Digital Media Wire and the Deity Group’s party at The Venice Contemporary this Saturday!

Updated with link to page with photos of the event. Many thanks to everyone who attended our Mobile Art Mixer in Venice on Saturday. It was an amazing show of 50 artists as well as great live music from the LA indie band Population Game. The art downloading was a cool component of the event with free exclusive content like wallpaper and ring tones from the artists and band at the show. Special thanks to Bill Lucas, the Deity Group, The Venice Contemporary, Vector Mobile, Red Bull, Effen Vodka, AGWA and the Heroes for making this happen.
