Camera Toss Community Gallery - RSS Feed

Many contributors and followers of the Live Community Gallery currently on display at the Torrance Art Museum have requested a way to keep up with new submissions. The Contact Sheet is a great way to browse all submissions. But what this project really needed was an Syndicated Feed, which it no has!

Subscribe in a reader

This feed contains incoming submissions to the exhibited gallery, as I activate them.

If you've been wanting to share your camera tosses now is the time! Grab your flickr account and push some camera toss photographs to the submissions interface via my Flickr API application. I announce most new features to this project here, but if you are really interested stop by in our flickr community forums.

A Growing Installation...

The community driven Camera Toss installation at the Torrance Art Museum is only a few days old but already contains over 450 submissions!

The Web Version makes a great screen-saver or active desktop background. I projected it in Austin at a friend's birthday party the same day as the opening and it generated a fair amount of discussion. It will remain active and accepting submissions for until at least the end of the show (May 26th).

Here's a few recent slides generated from submissions:

Also note, I've fixed a couple bugs lately with the code. If you were having problems viewing the installation with IE7 it should be fixed now. If you were one of the handful experiencing submission problems I fixed that issue too. Keep them coming! Great contributions so far!
