About DMU SH*W 2010

The DMU SH*W has been produced by a group of Flickr friends and is being held on weekends
through the end of May 2010 at The Brewery, the largest live-work art community in the United States.
The SH*W will be open Saturdays & Sundays from 2PM - 6PM at Suite 222, 2010 N. Main St.,
Los Angeles, CA. You can read more about the SH*W.

The DEL*TE ME! Uncensored (DMU) photography collaboration is highly original. Its stylized sense
of humor is forming its own movement, a performance art environment within the wider photography
world that revolves around a central premise of a brutal game.



DMU is a world-wide group of photographers, representing twelve countries, who are also engineers, scientists, artists, students, writers, teachers, poets, and soldiers. DMU also has its share of agitators, political activists, clowns, bastards, and celebrity impersonators.

Separated from each other geographically, politically, culturally, economically, and generationally,
it would appear that no common theme holds this collection of the abstract, the realist, the mundane,
and the extraordinary together.

But this collection is neither ideologically nor mentally isolated.

The work is a reflection of who we are as members of this global community and how people really are, once you dig beneath the surface. The diversity of imagery – from the surreal to captured moments of an ordinary day push us to really explore who we are as individuals and where we are as part of the outside, non-internet world.

Besides caring deeply for photography as an art form, DMU is united by what can only be called
a derisive moment...




The DMU collaborators submit their best photographs to an online gauntlet of unbridled,
at times personally insulting, critique. Ten saved votes gets you into the portfolio.
Ten delete votes and the image is unceremoniously deleted.

Very few photographers can share images they love, and play this game.
It’s not for the faint of heart.
