Playing with visual vernaculars

Marsha Berry

pp. 25-43

Mobile media remixes and remediates old and new media (Bolter and Grushin 1999) to generate new forms, which quickly transform into visual vernaculars. The proliferation of smartphone camera apps means that tools and digital darkroom techniques once only available to professionals are now readily accessible to anyone with a passing interest in photography or video. We are witnessing the emergence of new types of visual vernaculars. Writers and visual artists are using innovative forms within spaces created by social media where emergent "creative vernaculars' (Burgess 2008) are at play. I present vignettes derived from interviews and my field notes to show how creative practitioners play with new visual vernaculars on an everyday basis for inspiration.
