We are thrilled to present an insightful artist talk by photographer and developer, Dmitry Rambovskiy. A former International Center of Photography Fellow, Dmitry is the creator of Community, a free iPhone application that brings together all of Tokyo's photo exhibitions in one intuitive platform. With a strong focus on urban and street photography, Dmitry works at the intersection of art and technology, bridging the perspectives of artists, audiences, and cultural organizers.
In his talk, "Community: A New Way to Discover Photo Exhibitions in Tokyo," Dmitry will share his journey of building the app from the ground up, from his first encounters with Tokyo’s gallery scene to designing its visual identity. He will explain how digital tools can strengthen cultural engagement, and how the app's design reflects deeper ideas like mono no aware and ephemerality.
The talk will include a live demonstration of the Community app, showcasing its interactive map of over 80 galleries, a personal calendar for planning visits, and social features. Dmitry will also share how technology can create a warm sense of community around photographic art and invite attendees to share feedback on expanding the platform.
This talk is perfect for photographers, curators, students, cultural organizers, and technology enthusiasts who are curious about how mobile applications can shape cultural experiences and foster new communities.
