Long before virtual reality captured the imagination, holography
provided artists with a new, challenging, three-dimensional medium.
Its very immateriality demanded that artists approach its illusions
in unforeseen and inventive ways.
Apparition provides the first detailed study of holographic art
in Australia, of the artists producing it and the scientific
institutions assisting them. It includes examinations of the work
of Paula Dawson, Alexander, and Margaret Benyon and of the
institutional collaborations developed by artists such as George
Gittoes and David Warren. The book also provides an important
historical survey of this advanced-technology art and canvasses the
theoretical, perceptual and philosophical issues posed by the
hyperreality of the holographic medium.
Rebecca Coye is a lecturer and Philip Hayward a senior lecturer,
both in media and communication studies at Macquarie University,
Sydney, Australia.
