Passengers 2012
Passengers is a website as well as a series of street photography books about the passengers who use public transport.
The project was developed as a web participatory concept. All of the images were captured with mobile devices and
published on Instagram. The website gives a real time look at participation while the books are a visual contemplation
about public transport passengers, mobile device aesthetics and street photography.
November 16, 2013Participative Processes on the Web: Making of Passengers 2012
We thought it would be interesting to explain how this book was developed. Barcelona Photobloggers have been producing
participative web projects since 2006, some of them in collaboration with important cultural entities of Barcelona city.
We’ve often noticed interest in our approach to work and organization.
In writings, two types of participative processes are distinguished. Some call them participatory art and some –
participatory projects. We make the same distinction, but we call them participatory and collaborative processes.

Ubiquography is an exhibition that aims to make people think about the traits that define mobile photography:
ubiquity and immediacy.
http://ubiquography.com/
Participants capture, edit and publish their pictures using their phones and they are instantly displayed in the
exhibition (inreal-time) emphasizing the immediacy aspect.
The exhibition will be simultaneously held in different cities around the world, in very diverse and distant locations,
making the exhibition ubiquitous.
Mobile networked photography can’t be explained like traditional photography. A bunch of prints on a wall will
never be able to explain to the public what this new photographic paradigm really means. Our full statement can
be found
here.

December 20, 2011 From the Kodak Brownie to the iPhone
Although iPhoneography might seem to be about a group of addicted fans and technobuffs who cannot stop using their
mobile phone, it is in reality the continuation of a trend that began with the advent of the Kodak Brownie in February
1900 and has been developing since then.
The Kodak Brownie is recognised as the beginning of photography for the masses and with it was born the term “snapshot”:
a photograph taken quickly without thinking, without any artistic or documentary intent, usually blurry, badly framed
and in which the subject is usually a scene from everyday life, such as birthdays, sunsets, pets or travel.

Passengers
Passengers is a street photography project, in both web and book series form, about anonymous public transport
passengers. It’s designed as a participative online project. All the images are captured by mobile devices and published
on Instagram. The site is a “real-time view” of the participation process. The book is a visual meditation on public
transport passengers and the aesthetics of street photography using mobile devices.

Arrinconado (Cornered)
Project “Arrinconado” (Cornered) starts a new era for Barcelona Photobloggers. The objective was to create a
collaborative project with a horizontal organization in which all of the members would have an opportunity to
participate in every aspect of creation, from definition to production, and which would lead to a work authored by the
group and not by a gathering of various authors in the same space.

October 16, 2006 In recent years, the phenomenon of photoblogs, an extension of the blog culture where photography is the center of attention, has been acquiring adepts on the internet. Around this phenomenon, online communities in various cities around the world, Barcelona among them, have sprung up as a meeting place for the photobloggers.
Barcelona Photobloggers come out of the online world to present their first collective exhibition entitled
“De la red a la pared” on October 19 at 20:30. A total of 22 photobloggers from Barcelona area will exhibit more than 300 photographs at the
Fotonauta gallery until November 9.
