LASER in association with SMW presents Fred Unterseher and Rebecca Deem discussing their artwork and life's work, in holography. 

Fred Unterseher was a pioneering member of the San Francisco School of Holography and now has over 45 years working with holography as an art medium. As a member of ANT FARM an art/media collective, he contributed during the dome and inflatable years. He. He considers holography to offer an opportunity for exploring relationships between science/technology and art/consciousness. His views are based on his remark "All we see is light related to space/time, which the eye/brain decodes into “meaningful” information.” Combining holography with other media he expresses concepts and explores ideas covering light, kinetics, consciousness, visual perception, science, and community and has exhibited and lectured internationally. 

Rebecca Deem has worked with holography as an art medium for over 40 years. The nature of holography, she finds, offers an opportunity to explore dimension in ways not previously encountered such as upside down, inside out and spatially backward images. Holograms are actually interference patterns and increasing recognition acknowledges the part patterns affect not only human emotions but by which “visual” information or “coded light” is processed by the human organism. “Seeing” as a learned experience leads us to explore how we perceive our experiences, real, imagined or manipulated and in turn brings greater awareness of how we create our world”. Deem has exhibited worldwide with artworks included in public and private collections.
