From Kiev to Miami Beach to Paris in holography

摘要

Abstract: Nowhere is the global village more clear than in holography. Working in diverse environments in various countries, my intention is to invoke an awareness of the socio-political and psychological truths of these societies. This sounds presumptuous, but by focusing on a singular signpost or person, perhaps not impossible. Making holograms in three enormously different parts of the world has been a remarkable and rewarding experience. Chronologically, in the past two years I worked in: the Soviet Union with Dr. Vladimir Markov, Chief of the Holography Laboratory, and his group, Kiev, Ukrainian Institute of Physics, Academy of Sciences, July 1989; Florida, U.S.A., with Larry Lieberman et al. at Holographic Images, February 1991; and France, with Hugh Souparis et al. at Hologram Industries, Fontenay-sous-Bois, a suburb of Paris, March 1991. Between the Soviet and Florida productions, an exhibition of our Soviet work integrated into installations was shown at the Museum of Holography (MOH), New York City. !11
