Holograms in Seoul - the Garden of Light

Typhoon 8"x10" Reflection Hologram, Pearl John, 2009

My holograms Through Sound and Typhoon (produced with Iñaki Beguiristain's help) are currently on show in The Garden of Light Exhibition, organised by Juyong Lee.

From Lithuania to Belarus

HoloExpo-2011 Installation View

In October I travelled to Minsk with artist Isabel Azevedo to take part in the HoloExpo 2011 conference.  The accompanying exhibition at the National Academy of Science of Belarus was fantastic.   Isabel and I both exhibited holograms and were interviewed by the local TV station about our work.

There were approximately 150 holograms being exhibited; the collection included display holograms, museum works and fine art holograms.  Many of the holograms were full-colour and animated.
 

Boots by Isabel Azevedo

Isabel's hologram Boots, was stunning, the silver boots kicked as you walked past them. Other works of art that I admired included Paula Dawson's 'Luminous Presence; and Martin Richardson's Over the Rainbow.

 Over the Rainbow by Martin Richardson

Isabel and Michel Grossman are shown in front of my holograms Typhoon 2009 and Through History.  

The exhibition is open to the public at the Academy until December.

Holograms in Belarus!

Thanks to an invitation from Dr. Stanislovas Zacharovas, the Director of Geola, I attended the fantastic HoloExpo 2011 conference in Belarus. I was sponsored by the conference organisers – ‘Holography Industry’ and was very grateful to be able to attend.

I presented a paper on the creative development of digital animated holography, "From Analogue to Digital: Fine Art in a new Medium" and exhibited a couple of my holograms in the accompanying holography exhibition at The National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.

As a result I was interviewed on local TV, invited to write an article for a Russian Cinema magazine and received an invitation to the Belarus State University Physics Department to teach them about Outreach. Hurray!
