Dali in Holographic Space is an epic journey into holographic space with the legendary 20th century Spanish artist Salvador Dali. It is a distinct translation of the magical blend of art and science as they collide, revealing the vast and intricate workings of Dali's mind and talents.Many books have been written about Dali's prolific art and his eccentric personality. A lessor known fact is in the twilight of his career he actually achieved his goal of working in the third and fourth dimension when South African artist Selwyn Lissack introduced him to holography.A master of rearranging particles to show another point of view, Dali reveled in the technology which allowed him to work within a three dimensional canvas using laser light as his brush. Between the years of 1971 through 1975, combining art and science to express his ideas, free from the confines of linear space, Dali created seven holographic works of art.The Crystal Grotto, a three dimensional holographic collage, a unique and majestic artistic blend of spirituality, nature and technology. 'Submarine Fisherman', a mix media holographic display incorporating Freud's theories of the subconscious. 'Polyhedron', a holographic study in dimensions, showing there is more to the universe than earthy perceptions. 'Holo's Holo's Velasquez Gabor', a complex concept hologram showing two completely different moments in time, with two separate realities existing in the same space. 'The Brain of Alice Cooper', a 360 degree Holographic Stereo-gram with an image of the rock star Alice Cooper which appears to be floating in space. A remarkable aspect of a 360 degree hologram is that it also records time allowing the artist to work in the 4th dimension. 'Dali Painting Gala', a 360 degree holographic stereo-gram. A intricate blending of images creating a multitude of perspectives and symbolic metaphors. 'The Dali Melting Clock', a concept of recycled molecules of a moment in time, conceived in the past, frozen in Dali's present day reality, to be reproduced in the future, completing a cycle of time.
