[Molecule]

Major collection: Holography
Named collection: Holography Collection
Object type: hologram
Maker: Multiplex Moving Holograms
Date made: date unknown
Materials: 360° integral stereogram (Multiplex); film
Measurements: 9 1/2 in x 50 in
Nomenclature: fine art
Classification: holograms

Three sheets of film adhered together with clear tape to form one continuous image (each sheet is a 120-degree hologram); film is placed in a special rotating structure [see Notes below]; as structure rotates, viewer sees a rainbow-colored image of what appears to be a molecule; the angle and view of the molecule changes as the structure rotates.


Please note that due to the unique challenges of holography as a medium, high-resolution digital images are not available for most items in the holography collection. Please contact us for more information on reproducing images of holograms.
