Globatron is an alter ego character that was developed in order to relate to issues in contemporary art and culture. He is masked so he can speak the truth. Globatron began as a personal art project but has developed into much more. Globatron.org has sprung from the initial project. Globatron.org is an art project exploring truth, art, culture and society. The content results from the contributors grappling with the underlying ideas that shape our world. I am the founding member of Globatron.org and am proud to say that Globatron’s contributors are are all active contemporary artists, philosophers, journalists and academics.
However with all that said Globatron the initial alter ego is alive and well. He has also begun a spoken word project called Choken Word and a new off shoot project, the alter alter ego character Polartron which is a combination of Globatron and imagery from the Polar Brokers series. Sidekick and offspring Nugatron whom is pictured above sometimes makes her way into video projects. Visit Globatron or read the Globatron mission statement here.
Above are a few samples from the ongoing Globatron photoblog. Through this photoblog the alter-ego has been given a life as he is engaged daily and documents his life as it progresses. Visit www.globatron.tumblr.com.
