Holography

Surprisingly there aren't many artists working with holographic plates, although not surprisingly it is very expensive, so it's no wonder. The process requires a laser, the actual holographic plates, a dark room, some development chemicals, and of course the object or thing you want to holograph. It's amazing what can be done, and I could think of many applications for this process, however, it's greatly limited by the availability of large enough holographic plates or space to holograph the object. There is essentially a 1:1 ratio on size of object and the holographic plate itself, which obviously results in a scaling of price. However there are a number of artists working with this medium, here is a small list of artists and some of their work.
