Alfie Dennen is a British creative technologist, Artist, and founder of several prominent websites dedicated to mobile blogging. == Projects == Dennen co-founded the mobile blogging platform Moblog, formerly MoblogUK, in November 2003. Commercial users of the service have included Ronan Keating, Bloc Party, Greenpeace, Elbow, Imogen Heap, Max Clifford, Channel 4, Oxfam, Amnesty International and Comic Relief. The service gained prominence in 2005 when Eliot Ward uploaded a photo to the site from one of the London Underground bombings. Dennen responded to the terrorist attacks on London's public transport system by creating the website We're Not Afraid. The site's message was one of a public uniting against terrorism by refusing to sacrifice freedom in response to fear. Within days of the bombings, around 3,500 images had been submitted to the site. The site was the subject of a BBC documentary〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=picturephoning.com We Are Not Afraid BBC Documentary )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=We Are Not Afraid (video) )〕 and coverage included Sky News, Channel 5, ABC's ''World News Tonight''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=We're Not Afraid - ABC's World News Tonight )〕 and the ''New York Times''. Dennen's (Stopped Clocks ) project attempts to collate images of stopped public clocks and campaign to get them working again. The campaign has featured on BBC News,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Stopped Clocks on BBC News )〕 ''London Tonight''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Stopped Clocks Feature - London Tonight )〕 and ''The One Show''. In 2008, Dennen launched two art projects involving the creation of map-based images using mobile photography and GPS tracking. The first, in October 2008, was a treasure hunt around London to find photographs by James Nachtwey. Run in conjunction with the think tank Demos and (XDRTB.org ), the competition raised awareness of XDRTB. The second project, Britglyph, invited people from across the UK to build a nationwide geoglyph, placing rocks at specific locations around the country and uploading photos of themselves doing so. The image was based on John Harrison's Chronometer. On 31 August 2012 Dennen re-launched the Big Art Mob project and was given control of the project from previous administrators Channel 4. The Big Art Mob in its new incarnation shifted focus from mapping the United Kingdom's Public Art to mapping the whole world's. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alfie Dennen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
