We continue the discussion started with the Stereo/Computational blender of March 27 (Jason Ordaz, Pete Rogina, Tim Thomas) and the Holographic Blender of June 25 (Fred Unterseher, Rebecca Deem, August Muth).

Stereographer and Book Artist Georgette Freeman will present her stereo camera and viewing rigs, her stereo card designs, digital stereo imagery, and talk about her experiences as a stereographer and artist.

Stereographer and Computational Photography enthusiast Pete Rogina of WorldScape Inc. will attend virtually via (stereo?) Webcam.

Los Alamos Visual Analytics (LAVA) is sponsoring and facilitating this series and will be presenting some of the materials on their 3D DLP system at the Complex. LAVA is developing systems for immersive capture and display of objects and scenery with WorldScape and others.

At 7:00, the audience settled in for a one-hour Noisefold performance and lingered into the evening to savor the experience long after the lights went down on the live show.
