101- Saturday, October 12: 11:00-5:00pm,

Holography is a photographic technique of recording TRUE three-dimensional images using laser light. Some well-known artists who have experimented with the medium of holography include: Helen Chadwick, James Turrell, Salvador Dali, & Richard Hamilton.

This 2 day course will introduce students to the concepts & principles of holographic 3/D imaging. The basics of holographic theory, history, lasers & optics, & scientific applications will be discussed. Emphasis will be on holography as an art medium & commercial applications. Students will have the unique opportunity of working in a commercial pulsed laser holographic studio.

Students will learn the basics of transmission & reflection hologram 3/D volumetric recording, image-planed hologram transfer copying, lighting control, color control, multi-channeling techniques, processing & finishing methods, & lighting display techniques. Consideration of starting your own CW or Pulsed lab will be offered.

Class will collectively conceptualize, design, & produce their own display hologram. Each student will leave with their own small transmission hologram portrait & a reflection copy hologram of their class hologram art project as well as printed course materials & completed course certificate.

Rob Taylor attended Indiana & Purdue Universitys fine arts photography programs. He began his studies of holography under Dr. T.H. Jeong at Lake Forest College. In the 90's, Mr. Taylor traveled extensively to the former Soviet Republic of Vilnius Lithuania & together with a group of Russian scientists, was instrumental in the development & importation of the first automated pulsed holographic turn-key camera studio system. In 1999 he opened Forth Dimension Holography Studios in Nashville Indiana which is currently one of three commercial pulsed holography studios in the United States. Founder & President of Forth Dimension Holographics, Mr. Taylor currently runs his own studio & gallery & sells, trains, & installs pulsed holographic camera studios in North & South America.
