Glocal » multiple exposure http://blog.glocal.ca 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?

The images above, and the images in the site header were all created by Glocal participants using pre-release versions of our first two toolkits. We are happy to announce that these toolkits are now available for public download from our Toolkits Page.

First up is the Motion Sequence Tool, a simple software program for converting motion into a still image sequence via a web cam. As you can see from our Flickr Pool, there is a huge variety of images that can be created with this tool.

Next is the Multiple Exposure Tool, which layers captured photos to create photographic images via a web cam or connected video cam. You can store up to 25 photo layers, and combine them in any number of different ways.

Both toolkits are compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms and require a webcam to run properly.

Without getting overly philosophical, what is it that we actually expect when the camera captures something over time? Look at these images taken while flying over Vancouver and the Georgia State.

What is real and what is representation?

Are there planes flying that close to ours? Is the propeller actually being caught and rendered almost still?

This one is fairly simple – it allows users with a webcam to create multiple-exposure compositions quickly and easily. Like all of our toolkits, the final release will include instructions, educator resources, and the complete source code for all of you code-heads out there. The app should be released shortly – until then, here are a couple of test images from the app, created here at the Gallery:
