xRez is a consortium of digital artists committed to exploring new creative opportunites made available by the advent of extremely high-resolution gigapixel digital photography. We believe this is clearly the next revolution in photography, allowing photographic experiences with a deeper level of fidelity and impact than previously seen. Further, by combining powerful 3d tools and techniques appropriated from the visual effects field, possibilites arise of new imagery and animation that are truly novel and unprecedented. Applications of these new techniques can range from experiencing stunningly large prints in fine art gallery installations, providing a substitute to live-action shooting in feature film backgrounds, and enriching a national park visitor’s understanding and interpretation, to name a few. We believe that the very high resolution displayed greatly affects a viewer’s response to an image. Gigapixel images convey a heightened sense of realism rich with unprecedented nuance. Viewing a gigapixel image is tremendously engaging and allows a level of exploration not normally associated with prior printed images. Gigapixel resolution will change the face of photography and how we view our world through the power of image.
