I've just joined the glocal project ---an expansive digital artwork that has its roots in Canada. It was created by a collective of artists working at the Surrey Art Gallery, one of Canada’s leading public digital media galleries. It focuses on empowering local photographic communities by linking them to one another and to digital resources to encourage more experimental images. It's a version of “thinking globally and acting locally.”

Our project aims to understand digital art as part of the evolution of lens-based art, which has evolved in the face of rapidly changing technology, resulting in several aesthetic movements. The Glocal project is as much about science and technology as it is about art, examining the way the internet impacts the evolution of photography. Twenty years ago, an exhibition with millions of viewers was not possible, unless you were a photographer or artist whose work was exhibited in magazines or in art galleries.

They also run innovative weekly photochallenges that will allow members around the world to explore new ideas and come together to discuss art, photography, and culture.
