Introduction:
Gigantic ArtSpace [GAS] takes a small look at GIGANTICISM oversized consumption practices; the amplifying power of the media and its exaggeration of the spectacle; a supersized consumer society; the implications of scientific inquiry; global income inequality; ever greater computing power and digital storage capabilities; and spatial and perceptual expansions on land, in water, in the atmosphere, in outer space, inner space and cyber space. An exhibition catalogue will be available.
