So it's my turn here this is going to be brief because um It's really just to introduce you to my new book Which is going to be published it within the next couple of weeks. I will send you each a copy will Optic technically send you a copy for free So this is really the sort of launch. It's called the
00:27
It's called the prime illusion, and it's really a sideways sideways look at the commissions. We never go It's about the work that we didn't do it's about the way
00:41
popular culture see holography from science the science fiction point of view and why we don't get the jobs we should so I collaborated with first class Danish designer here Martin Anderson and We look at the aesthetics of holography using images that you will recognize from carrot cuss and silver there
01:02
through to holograms of landscapes and Draw upon stories that I've been involved with one of which Hans was involved with it with as well, and that was for professor gunter van Hagen Who you may have heard of he put dicey dissects bodies basically in
01:24
plasticizes them and puts them into exhibitions, and we were approached by him to record some of these as full color holograms So there's an essay about that in the book It never happened by the way, and I'm quite pleased it didn't we're looking at Gabor the early days
01:45
You can see over here some of the other images include the science fiction that Paul has already been given details on and then a sniff of the royal hologram Which is a lot of fun. This is this was taken from
02:03
BBC 24 when the hologram is Chris Levine's hologram is unveiled Also looks at pseudo color work we have in yakis telephone on the right hand side and Nick Phillips's on the left Ronald Reagan
02:21
It's got to be one of the worst portraits ever made. I mean come on Well There's some of my work with David Bowie, and you've seen the digital hologram Prototype of David Bowie intend to make that Full life-size version which will go to New York as soon as it's ready for David Bowie sir
02:41
He's one of the patrons of holography collects holograms by the way How holograms are perceived in exhibitions for the touching thing The early influences of my work with Escher Mike Neiman is in there series of his fountain stuff
03:01
Some of my only work, and then you know digging out the old slides here. We have Rick Silberman's the meeting and Salvia Dali's three-dimensional Velasquez a Martin Scorsese a Couple of scenes from 3d movies at the top. We have the house of wax for Vincent price a
03:23
crazy photograph there, I'm sure mark would appreciate that one with water and the murders from the Rue Morgue on the bottom and The other thing is the books split into two so you've got the art And then we look at the science and so we take a sideways look at the science and some of the crazy
03:42
Scientists involved because I really believe that you know if you're crazy if you're a crazy scientist You're you've lost it. You know I mean there are crazy artists, but if you're a crazy scientist, then you're really crazy And there's no help We look at some of the early work from zebra, and that was there
04:01
Still from the unveiling at the Ford Motor Show Detroit Motor Show Here's a crazy team of scientists that this is the silver cross team and we see hands and a few of the others and Again Hans's wristwatch, which is ticking
04:20
Steve Benson's crystal beginnings and The illustrator's a couple of really interesting illustrations, so I haven't gotten this PowerPoint, and I'll try to describe those to you we We look at the the use of three-dimensional mapping and again, I use them at least
04:40
Holographic octopus and Steve Benson's Her view of where we were going with this medium using timelines and trying to you know dissect various different technologies and then my take on that using a three-dimensional form of map and eventually what I found was
05:01
Well you'll read about that anyhow the book's dedicated to the living memory of Steve Benson Helmut Leith and Yuri Daneshuk So look out for it in the post there. We are so that's have coffee
