COMPUTER GRAPHICS

1988

15 x 15 cm

Embossed hologram

“The hologram was one of my first works on photoresist in 1988 and I had it embossed at the Diffraction Company in the USA. My very first hologram in which I used computer graphics. However, with computer graphics it was not as easy as it is today. I generated the object with an Atari computer and the programming language Basic and then photographed it image by image from the monitor and then exposed the images, image by image onto the master with a converted Kodak carousel projector.

In 1989 the German artist and musician Michael Weiser used the hologram as a cover for his music CD "Software", this was through the mediation of Matthias Lauk.”

An Invitation

The Jonathan Ross Hologram Collection website has been running for fifteen years so we decided it was time for a new look.

The new format has scope for lots more material so I would like to invite all the holographers whose work is featured here to submit background information, stories and images to supplement those I have provided. That way we can work together to make this the best resource on holographic imaging to be found on the web.

About the Collection

The Jonathan Ross Hologram Collection, based in London, UK, is one of the largest resources in the world for creative, display and commercial holography.

A number of touring exhibitions, containing work from the collection, have been presented in outstanding museums and galleries both within the UK and abroad. Information about new acquisitions and exhibitions is added here on a regular basis.
