Example project 2: Low angle perspective, cheap optics and mobile telephone time lapse

A key objective of the Glocal curatorial project involves 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.

Artist, Sarah Gale, assisting in the delivery of the Glocal project was interested in addressing ‘HOW’ to shift image relationships and with the support plus suggestions from the public came up with this new concept.

Sarah experimented what would happen when the digital camera was placed off tripod and away from the rational eye. Below are the first observational works of a cat eating



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!
