On display: 'Stress Topography' , a classic suite of 1983-1985 interferograms as art by Al Razutis, was featured on the cover of the book 'Basics of Interferometry' (2nd edition 2006) by P. Hariharan, published by Academic Press. |
A 3D
film & PC - console educational video game, based on a original
concept, design and screenplay by Al Razutis, is in development
with Surreality Innovations Inc..
This stereoscopic 3D digital film and multi-player RPG game features
an adventure science theme, and is directed / designed by Al Razutis.
This fillm and game is presently in development and partnerships are currently being sought in production, distribution, exhibition and marketing. Contact the Producer, Al Razutis for development information and offerings and visit www.surreality.ca for more information.
A three-volume DVD on West-Coast Holographic Art, produced and directed by Al Razutis, is in post-production. This unique document of artists and their works does not 'historicize' or 'curate' holographic art. Rather, it presents the artists and their works directly addressing creative expression in holographic art on the U.S. and Canada west-coasts in the 90's.

Part Three - recorded entirely with stereoscopic 3D video techniques - all videography and editing / post fx by Al Razutis, and was mastered at Paxton Holographics and with the assistance of the owner/laboratory head Chuck Paxton. Financial assistance was provided by The Shearwater Foundation administered by Dr. Andrew Pepper
The multi-volume 3D DVD presents holography in true stereoscopic 3D, where the holographic works, people, labs, exhibitions are spatially represented and where holographic images 'float in space' in front of the viewer's video screen (as they should).
The DVDs feature the work of four holographic artists: Fred Unterseher, Melissa Crenshaw, Sharon McCormack, and Al Razutis, and two display holography entrepreneurs and technical innovators and directors: Chuck Paxton and Gary Cullen. This volume presents the holographic works and studios of the subjects in full 3D quality and is now completed and was previously exhibited in 2004 at SeNef (Seoul Net and Film Festival), Ilmin Art Museum - Samsung Media Lounge, in Seoul, Korea as a the four-monitor installation titled 'West-Coast Artists in Light'.
The soon to be released three-volume DVD collection features an expanded treatment of the holographic documentation previously released in video and focuses on a total of 14 selected artists - holographers and their works. It comprises a valuable historical and aesthetic record of the 'art of holography' as seen through the artists and their works, with no superimposed 'critical-historical' commentary.
Please visit West-Coast Artists in Light page for additional background on this project and image selections of the artist works in this video and DVd.
Production support for this project has been provided
by the Shearwater Foundation.
All sales of films - videos - DVDs are concluded.
Further sales, if resumed, will be announced at a later date.

This site and its offspring, began in 1996 with the invitation of Urs Fries of www.holonet.khm.de to post a few images from 'West-Coast Artists in Light' (video) and texts from Wavefront Holography Magazine on the holographic art gateway site developed by Mr. Fries at the University of Cologne.
From 1996 'Visual Alchemy on the net' was developed by Al Razutis to feature a progressive inclusion of new media and VRML content representing both the history and changing motion-picture 3D works of Al Razutis (your host, and author of this site).
The two individuals who provided the initial support (in the form of free hosting) for this site were Dwight Jones of Imagen Communications, the original home of www.alchemists.com, and Urs Fries of Holonet, Germany (present host of European mirror-site). Subsequent financial support has, at times, also been provided by Anne Popperwell, Danguole Varnas, Jerry Barenholtz, and Richard Karpinsky.
All site contents, unless otherwise indicated, were created
and coded by Al Razutis

ALICE'S ADVENTURES - LOOKING GLASS - MAP
Or, as Alice would remind us: "... sometimes I've always thought of that curious Cat, in this very strange place of mirrors...looking glasses...and strange fractal things....as, oh, dear! I forgot it's name!"
And then she fell asleep! Dreaming
of Cheshire cats chasing the
tails of...fractals.
