GigaChad is a nickname associated with the art project berlin.1969 / Ernest Khalimov,[1] which is a series of photoshopped photographs of several models created by Russian photographer Krista Sudmalis for her project Sleek'N'Tears.[4] The name "GigaChad" indicates that the person, who was initially assumed to be real, is the ultimate Chad, an internet archetype representing an ultra-masculine, physically attractive male. Online, the term was popularized within various communities.
