Dropsketch Update and Exhibition in Sydney

I've just updated my Dropsketch drawing system with a brand new web site and improved app for iPhone. The new site and app are being shown at the Creativity and Cognition conference in Sydney this week as part of their art exhibition.

While Dropsketch may appear to be primarily about drawing, it's really an experiment in connecting people. The drawings themselves are typically doodles and graffiti-style images, so not necessarily 'art'. However, what interests me is how knowledge of the app spreads around the world, leading to contributions from unexpected places. For example, the last time I exhibited it in Leicester I made an effort to only promote it locally, yet after a week or two sketches began arriving from almost every continent.

It will be interesting to see how the Sydney exhibition influences the development of the system. You can download the free Dropsketch app for iPhone from iTunes, the website (with interactive map) is at dropsketch.com.
