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?
"One of the most challenging questions has been: how can we make sense of such a large collection of images?"
Operating out of the Surrey Art Gallery’s Tech Lab, The Glocal Project is a collaborative, multifaceted artist-led project that examines the changing role of digital image making today.
In the context of Glocal Project, Digital Artist Jer Thorp has produced 2 abstract search tools to visually navigate through Glocal's large database of photos.
