I have begun to make finished assemblies for my discursive promiscuity project. The finished composite image files are built to 48'×48' @350dpi which allows them to be printed up to 6'×6' or down to any size but, most likely, 3'×3'.
Without a doubt in my head, I believe these images must be printed large in order to be effective. I believe that to be so because a large print allows a viewer to, from a stepped-back viewing distance, to get the visual impression of a lot of visual information and, at a closer viewing distance, to see the individual picture detail. Sort of like a visual double-whammy for the eye and sensibilities.
In any event, I have found a source for 48'×48' printing and mounting and will be sending off my first file as soon as I am back home. I am currently in Montreal for a 4-day / 3-day stay.
Interestingly and advantageously, relative to the currency exchange rate, everything in Canada is 30% off ... even more if you buy stuff that is on sale. So, the wife is out buying some lawyer-style office clothing and I'll be out to buy some only-available-in-Canada bourbon/ single malt / Irish whiskies.

I think these are really wonderful! The repetitive layout provides a nice "entry into" the pieces, making me feel welcomed into them rather than standing outside feeling like I had to pass a test to get in. I'm sure they'll look superb at 48x48.
