A key objective of delivering the Glocal project includes changing how users work and respond to digital technologies.
In a world where digital recording devices dominate, shooting at eye level seems to be the most natural. What if this was altered? How would these other alternative views appear?
In this project we look at changing perspectives (ie. by literally placing cameras and recorders at unusual heights or anchored positions) and how can we capture the everyday in unordinary ways.
As an artist assisting in the delivery of the Glocal project – I am interested in addressing the ‘HOW’ with the support and suggestions of the public.
Recently I partnered with a series of UK artists to see what would happen when the digital camera was placed off tripod and away from the rational eye.
Below are the first observational works created by artist Sarah Gale.
Pictures were devised by placing a camera on a timer under a plastic food tray. The results – meal time like no one has ever envisioned!

Glocal (global + local) is an immense, collaborative and multifaceted digital art project that examines the making, sharing and exhibiting of images in the 21st century. Working out of the Surrey Art Gallery’s TechLab, the artists behind Glocal pose questions about the nature of photography at this point in our history: What is a photograph? What is a camera? What is a photographer?
