VISUAL ALCHEMY studio established in 1972...the history

...a site of current and past works by Al Razutis (Resumé - brief) in the many forms of avant-garde and experimental art and re-presenting decades of work in holographic art, avant-garde films & videos, critical writings, stereoscopic 3D video art, digital multi-media, and virtual reality.

There are no works currently for sale on this site, only design and project services. Examples here illustrate past works, and are not posted or 'blogged' to 'drive the price up' on its art or 'toot its horn', as is the mind-set of wannabes. The history is in the works and documentation. Pioneering efforts, original hands-on innovative works (not OEM tools) in the contemporary arts are featured here, works in two-three-four dimensions of 'media', which continue in the changing forms of 'what is cinema' and multi-media today.

This highly original and contention work, illustrated in pictures and extensive writings on the subjects of art and criticism, continues in this decade with a focus on holography and stereoscopic 3D video delivering avant-garde content.

Each media is covered in the projects - exhibitions page and are further covered in archived writings tracking the development of the media arts from the 60's to the present, as presented by the author's first-person experiences.

This site features inter-connected themes, contentious content, and is graphics-media intensive.   For more on 'projection' systems, content, site design, amd recommended browser plug-ins and special viewing requirements see site design-content page.
