À propos du livre
flâ-neur (noun): A dilettante observer of modern urban life. A voyeuristic stroller who discovers the city as a landscape of voluptuous extremes. Adept of the joys of watching, connoisseur of empathy, the flâneur finds the world 'picturesque'.

In the present societal condition that imposes increasing use of and co-existence with technological developments, we experience the possibility of capturing any given moment with devices such as the cell phone and digital camera. Never before have we been able to document our experiences of the every day with such an amount of ease. The availability of such technology has perhaps created a desensitization to the wondrous ability millions of people have to eternalize experiences via photography.
The advent of photography instigated a continual negotiation with fine art practice. Many would claim that this struggle is concluded, that any musee des beaux arts or gallery would be deficient without a representation of photography, and thus one sees a victory for the medium. However, the swift development of commercial devices for the masses such as camera-phones and point-and-shoot cameras forces the re-evaluation of photography's place within fine art, a questioning of the validity of art employing such media, and a recommencement of the justification of photographic art utilizing such strategies. Just as Baudelaire championed the flâneur of the 1860's, so too do we seek to celebrate the camera-phone and it's potential to record the manifold ephemeral moments of our collective experience and existence.
