UNFURL
Holographic Installation in Sydney
presented by
Experimental New Media Gallery
DON’T LOOK
Appearing in two shop-front windows over the New Year will be the life-size holograms Unfurl. These incredible pieces blend digital and optical technology to present holographic images that stretch beyond reality.
The subtly animated images capture two fi gures, hesitantly emerging from a digitally generated holographic scene. As you approach they beckon you into their enchanting world, yet remain forever elusive, suspended in light.
Having captivated audiences in Melbourne the Unfurl holograms will be on public displayover the New Year, bringing a little magic to the Sydney streets.
Unfurl is the result of a collaboration between holographic artist Martina Mrongovius and garment designer Sruli Recht. The holograms were commissioned by Experimenta for the 2005 ‘Vanishing Point’ exhibition and produced with the assistance of Mark Ruff, Ged Wright and Dr John Perry.
