The Fascinating World of Holograms
The Jeweled Net: Views of Contemporary Holography, a fascinating new show currently on view at the MIT Museum in Cambridge, embraces the intersection of art and science. The exhibit, featuring more than 20 holograms from around the world as well as several from the museum’s collection, was created in conjunction with the 9th International Symposium on Display Holography, held at MIT last month.
It’s no accident that this show is at the MIT Museum; it owns the largest and most comprehensivecollection of holograms in the world.
...viewers can learn about advances made in the field in the 1980s, when the MIT Spatial Imaging Group pioneered digital-age technological achievements in image-processing techniques, holographic printing, and new hologram formats.
