He graduated with a Master's degree from the University of New South Wales' [[UNSW Art & Design|College of Fine Arts]] and untertook associate research at Goldsmiths College, London (2001-2) ==Work== Gladwell is primarily digital artist, who skillfully combines past and present in a street manner. In art historical terms, his embodiment of physical and aesthetic risk aligns him to artists who combine sport and art. Gladwell describes his video art as "performance landscapes", and whether they are set in rural or urban settings, they usually present a juxtaposition of the visual against the environment where it exists. He often uses filmic devices such as slow-motion and long pans to capture both tightly choreographed and improvised performances. The resulting works are surprisingly hypnotic and beautifully poetic, due to their distortion of speed, reversed gravity or overall displacement of space and time.
