HOLOGRAPHIC EXHIBITIONS AND ENVIRONMENTS 

art and science of cherry optical holography

Cherry Optical Holography is pleased to announce "the art and science of cherry optical holography," a new exhibition of holograms, laser effects and related artworks. New, original works and holographic jewels from our gallery collection and archives combine in a modular exhibition of twenty to one hundred holograms.

Holographic art presents the dazzling, crowd-pleasing emotional resonance, while the educational component illuminates the viewer into photonics science as illustrated by wavefront reconstruction. We are delighted to offer this crowd-pleasing display, modulated to highlight your space in holographic magic.

the art and science of cherry optical holography can be specifically formatted to fill your space.  This exhibit draws upon our collection of hundreds of original, high quality holograms, to illustrate complex art and science concepts beautifully. Creative aspects of holographic art and the nature of laser culture and beauty contrast with technical specifics of the nature of holography: the "hows" of  holography; recording media; photonics and optical phenomena; and the general nature of diffraction and wavefront reconstruction.

the art and science of cherry optical holography, our new hologram exhibition, is available for rental by the month. We will guide you in lighting and display for ease of exhibition installation.  Brochures, promotional photographs and videotape, and display graphics can also be provided. Please email Nancy at universalholo@comcast.net for further information.

Our original holographic environments are structured around specific themes, which surround the viewer with a provocative and beautiful array of holograms. V

the art and science of cherry optical holography, is composed of from twenty to one hundred holograms. These holograms represent strong holographic technology, evocative themes, highly entertaining and illuminating imagery and art pieces of uplifting beauty. Galleries and presenting institutions report as many as 4 times the normal attendees during our exhibitions, to widespread happiness and acclaim. Here is an example of the pieces sponsoring sites can select:

Exhibition Examples

 Multicolor Reflection Hologram Composites such as River,  by Nancy Gorglione   34" Wide by 40" High; glass holograms laminated to sealed wood and framed in oak. This piece has a great angle of view, unusual colors, and kinetic imagery.

Many of the Multicolor Reflection Hologram Composites featured on the one-of-a-kind page can be included in

the art and science of cherry optical holography.

The Multicolored Reflection Hologram Composites have an unusually wide angle of view, great depth and brightness for holographic art. In the "River" hologram, above, the narrow bandwidth of blue is a difficult color to obtain. The artist swelled, then shrunk the holographic emulsion, and made extensive optical adjustments, in order to achieve a bright archival blue.

 

 

Clouds, Eight, 22" by 30" Transmission Rainbow Holograms feature rolling clouds which project out at the viewer in sunset colors. The pieces are installed to form a free hanging sculpture approximately 6 feet wide by 3 feet deep by 5 feet high. Transmission holograms on film laminated to Plexiglas and suspended from the ceiling with monofilament. By Nancy Gorglione.

 

A selection of Rainbow and Transmission Holograms can be included in the art and science of cherry optical holography.

 

the art and science of cherry optical holography presents a modular holographic environment which can include holographic and computer animated laser effects.   Effects can range from simple, turn-key operations to complex multiple beam shows. The mood and ambiance of the holographic worlds is enhanced through these special lighting displays.

 

Examples of Laser & Special Illumination Effects

 

 

 

Dichroic Lighting, Above. Two color versions of the eucalyptus leaves, wall sized dichroic light projections, which can serve as a backdrop for holography.

 

Laser Lighting: Lumia, holographic diffractive effects and more, simply operate, adding laser lighting to the environment without a lot of complicated equipment.

 

 

Of course, we also provide full Laser Light Shows, multicolor multiple beam extravaganzas with fancy electro-optics and computer modulation.

Exhibition Examples

Apple Blossoms & Butterfly,  Rare example of an open aperture transmission hologram, created by Gorglione & Cherry. This continuous wave hologram captured the fragile living apple blossoms. Since open aperture transmission holograms have a very narrow focal range, a "spectral smear" of rainbow colors appears slightly outside the focal range. Here, the artists use this spectral coloration to good advantage on the butterfly's wings. 

 

 

Goldfish in Cup, Photopolymer Hologram, Master by Cherry Optical Holography, copy by Dupont. (Close-up of detail) A hologram commissioned by DuPont to highlight their photopolymer emulsions.

 

 

Three Diverse & Beautiful Examples of Interferometry

Caliper and Egg (Below)  In this Interferogram, the Caliper's pressure on the egg simulated interference fringe lines. Reflection Hologram by Greg Cherry.

As a holographic artist, Nancy Gorglione explores interferometry to create kinetic motion and color changes within art holography.

 

 

Echo Reflects, a multicolor rainbow hologram by Nancy Gorglione, has moving fringes of light achieved through interferometry.

 

 

 

Reclining Nude. (Below) In this 12" by 16" reflection hologram, the double pulse of the laser created holographic fringe patterns that shows the movement between the two rapid exposures. Moire' patterns such as those in Magic Carpet (pictured elsewhere) exhibit different types of fringe movement.

Examples of  Space-Within-Space in Holography

Greg Cherry's Space-within-Space Holograms always amaze the viewer, and include some of the best-selling holograms of all time. Delicate multiple exposures of holograms within holograms amaze with the visual magic of holography.

          

Binoculars Above left; View Thru Eyepiece, Above right. Stereoscopic space within holographic space. In this highly popular, and ultimately mind-boggling hologram, a holographic pair of binoculars rests on a tree branch. When you look through the projecting eyepieces, a stereoscopic scene of a parrot comes into view. 8" by 10" Reflection Hologram by Greg Cherry.

 

 

 

Microscope. Reflection Hologram 12" by 16" by Greg Cherry. The View thru the eyepiece is a magnified IC Chip.

 

 

 

 

Commissions & Custom Holograms:  Institutions occasionally commission us to create a custom holographic image as part of the exhibition.  Brochures, promotional photographs and videotape, and display graphics can also be provided.

Ben Franklin's Glasses optically enhance the Declaration of Independence in this Custom Hologram by Greg Cherry. It and its companion piece, Constitution, were custom holograms made for an exhibition at the Franklin Institute.

The images above are examples of the art and science of cherry optical holography.

CITYSCAPES in LIGHT

A Virtual Exhibition as Example of Theme-Based Exhibitions

 

 

We'll end this virtual exhibition page with "Mixed Metaphor," Left, detail, Right. An early multicolor Reflection Hologram Composite by Nancy Gorglione. This piece was exhibited at the International Symposium of Display Holography, were it had the distinction of being the only piece to sell from the Art Exhibition. It also excited the scientists at the conference, for its color mixtures that additively obtained white and silver holograms.

PLEASE REMEMBER ALL HOLOGRAMS ARE TRULY THREE-DIMENSIONAL, with depth, projection and parallax. A Jpeg is not a hologram.
