I've just exhibited 8 lenticulars at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition.  The exhibition ran from 3-8 July 2012 at the Royal Society, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London.  

The photos below show me installing the exhibit - with the help of Dr James Gates, myself and Dr Sadie Jones - who contributed astronomy data for the project.  Sandra Oliveira, from De Montfort University holography group kindly filmed the exhibit in 3D for me.  

12,000 visitors saw the exhibit and 4,000 postcards - scientific versions of the artwork -were taken by visitors in 4 days.  A great success!

Looking for a metaphor

I'm working on my three-dimensional family tree hologram.  I need a metaphor to work with.  I am going to be depicting generations of my family stacked up - and overlapping in space within my holograms and I need to organise - or arrange - my images.   I'm working on how best to do that.  The candle imagery feels  relevant.  The candles have a spiritual aspect, they give off light and move.  My tiny holographic videos will appear to give off light - if I use a dark background, and the moving images will flicker as the viewer moves in front of them.
