The Emergent Holographic Scene
The Emergent Holographic Scene is the PhD Thesis of Martina Mrongovius. This research aims to convey a series of techniques for the expansion of holography through a design and installation practice that focuses on a visuo-spatial choreography. These choreographies aim to heighten an awareness of the perceiving body – both in the process of capturing images for a holographic scene and during the viewer's exploration of this scene. The projects seek to work actively with the role of movement and multiple perspectives, mapping perceptual shapings and virtual extensions that inform the experience of urban navigation. ʻPerceptual shapingʼ here refers to the perception of an undulation and/or rhythm of dimensions and forces: ʻshapesʼ or diagrams that are mapped through qualities and trajectories of movement. These diagrams or ʻshapesʼ become important in working with ʻa complex sense of locationʼ, an idea developed here to describe how multiple spaces and orientation systems are enfolded. The multiplex hologram then becomes a medium for conducting a diagram of movements.

Light-art windows send out message of hope to passers-by amid COVID-19 isolation. The Holocenter New York’s initiative Light Windows invited artists to create light-based art installations on their windows to steer hope and artistic engagement in community.
