Holography

The very idea of art made from holograms would often be thought of something found out of science fiction.  But as artists work on exploring and expanding on three denominational forms to this day, the idea has never been so far fetched as one might think (speaking for one's self).

Holography in general, is the science of producing holograms, illusions performed from a light field, rather than images projected through a lens. It requires the use of a laser in order to illuminate the subject matter of a given object.

The holographic method was first invented by Hungarian-British physicist Gábor Dénes, who received a  Nobel Prize in Physics in 1971 for his breakthrough.

Dieter Jung was a German artist known for working with holographic imagery. He developed a projected form of text which he titled BIBI BEI BOB, in 1987.


The National Polytechnic Museum of Sofia displays a self portrait, to whom it is unknown.

Holograms are more commonly found placed on credit/debit cards which are added as security features, they are applied so that they can not be removed as easily as they provide identity for the card's brand.

These images show two parts of a single hologram of a mouse as a means to reveal different angels of a projected object.
