The GIANT workshop
By Sam Buxton and Roger Ibars
ECAL (Switzerland) May 2005
From Monday the 9th to Friday the 13th

Now came the difficult part, to get them working as a group of 20+ to come up with concepts and directions for the GIANT. At this point it was totally open whether the GIANT should have a body form or be an abstract structure around a human form. They started brainstorming ideas in groups of 5 and then extracted the most interesting ideas until we had a set of directions to move forward. Then came the chaos on Tues afternoon as democracy broke down and parallel ideas sprung up from individuals. Late Tues a decision was taken with the remaining students to construct a GIANT structure, as big as we could build, with a body from and create an event that would build up to an experience of the GIANT being raised on Friday.(Text by Sam Buxton)
