Holograms, Past, Present, Future - Seminar 1

​

Beginning with a video tour of the current show at the HoloCenter we will explore the techniques used in the early days of holography to produce multi-colored holograms, white light reflection as well as rainbow holograms, pulsed portraits as well as recordings of still objects.

​

Continuing on to the second half of our show we will look at new work created using Dichromated Gelatin hand-coated emulsions and digital holograms. Further discussion will explore the latest options of recording holograms in photopolymer emulsions and the blessings of self-developing film.

Pulsed Laser Holographic Portraiture - HoloSeminar 2

​

Exploring the realm of holographic portraiture, we enter the world of pulsed lasers, particularly pulsed ruby lasers. Exploring the issues of creating images of living subjects we will look at the use of makeup, skin color and tone under red laser light, of spatial composition, capturing the magic of a moment in time, engaging with your subject, being present for your subject.

​

We will look in depth at the work of Ana Maria Nicholson, Co-Founder of the HoloCenter and some of her incredible body of work.

DCG Holograms - A visit to the Light Foundry with August Muth - HoloSeminar 3

​

Dichromated Gelatin or DCG is a recording medium that can be hand-coated onto sheets of glass, as in the early days of photography, - although with tighter control over humidity. This technique of coating and shooting your own recordings has been mastered by Holographic Artist, August Muth, in his studio at the Light Foundry in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

​

Join us for a visit with August Muth at the Light Foundry and an exploration of this unique medium.
