About this book
This anthology investigates scaling practices as a cultural technique, emphasizing measuring, scanning, transforming, and projecting objects in time and space. It explores the complex intersections between two- and three-dimensionality from the perspectives of art history, visual studies, and media studies. Special attention is paid to photography and (digital) sculpture, two increasingly intertwined fields. The concept of merging dimensions is now cutting-edge in both contemporary digitized photography and digital sculpture. The anthology also delves into the limits of scalability, the aesthetics of disruption, and the glitches that can occur when pushing these boundaries.
