Why Innovation?

What’s the G.I.G. idea? A blended physical-virtual “think studio” for ideas and projects that simply can’t happen within the separate worlds of the arts, technology, public sector, or the marketplace… A way to work, sustain and improve next-generation ideas, tools and practices. And a way to see demonstrations, launches, open brainstorms, exhibitions, performances. A downtown out-front lab/studio/workshop, a meeting place, a party of minds ~ a community for the most creative people in the metropolitan area, located at the intersection of New York City’s artistic, technology, and social sectors.
