Abstract
Today, the use of the multimedia functions of mobile phones is far from marginal and is not limited to the younger generation. In France, among the “extended uses” of the telephone (Licoppe & Zouinar, 2009), video and photography are progressing the most rapidly. From the unique experiments on the first day when one explores a new telephone, to hastily taken photographs of one’s friends and family, to advanced use of these audiovisual devices by artists, the use of mobile phones’ image-making capabilities has begun to redefine common practices dealing with images and sound. These effects extend beyond the field of interpersonal relationships and interactions upon which many researchers choose to concentrate (Riviere, 2005, 2006; Koskinen, 2007). “There are indicators of practices of picture taking and sharing that differ both from the uses of the stand-alone camera and the kinds of social sharing that happened via mobile phone communication”, write Okabe and Ito (2006, p. 79).
