Click on the link below for the Glocal motion application kit. It has directions for how to work the software on various operating platforms.

The image below was generated from a computer using the Glocal motion sequences application. Feel free to use the application to create new motion sequence based narratives with your computer's own in built camera.
Of interest, the top left frame shows live events, while the adjacent windows show events that have already passed in time. Since each scene can be looked at individually and/or collectively, the Glocal artists have produced an application in which the viewer can examine the subtle differences that appear between gesture, motion, and time.
The Glocal Motion Sequence Application is closely related to time-lapse photography
Time lapse is a moving image technique whereby each film frame is captured at a rate much slower than it will be played back. When replayed at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing.
Processes that would normally appear subtle to the human eye, such as a bird in flight, become very pronounced. A professor of Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harold “Doc” Edgerton (1903-1990), carried forward early time lapse experiments with his development of the electronic stroboscope. Through his investigations using 'strobes' and time lapse imagery, Edgerton set into motion a lifelong course of innovation centered on the idea of 'making the invisible visible'.
Edgerton's work also brought together both artistic expression and scientific principles in a way that few had done before. In the same way, the Glocal Motion Sequence Application can help us see things using new perspectives.
