Description
"I
have been making photographs for about 17 years, and three dimensional
or stereo photographs for about 12 years. A stereo photograph is one which
is made by exposing 2 images at the same time with the two exposures being
horizontally displaced by a certain distance. These images are then presented
to the right and left eyes respectively and the brain interprets these
slightly different images as though it were viewing a scene in depth.
This is based on the fact that we have 2 eyes which are displaced horizontally
by about 2 1/2" and a brain which interprets these different images
as depth. Stereo photography has been around as long as photography has
been around and has experienced greater and lesser popularity over the
years.
The last major upsurge of stereo photography was in the early 50's. At
the present, stereo photography is experiencing a minor upsurge. This
has partially been fueled by computers, but there are other factors involved
as well. When I discovered three dimensional photography I realized that
it could be instrumental in helping me accomplish one of the things that
attracted me to photography in the first place. That is, it has helped
me to create a compelling illusion of reality. I am not interested in
reproducing reality, but in creating a feeling of reality which draws
the viewer into it. I like the idea of creating a world within the world
that I, or the viewer, can wander around in."

FIN DE SIECLE Environment
Artists
John Zeissig, Jonathan
Thurston and Eric Walters
 Cafe Noir is an exhibition of works by artists John
Zeissig and Jonathan Thurston. These artists work in a variety of media
from the most traditional to the most technologically advanced. The artwork
is shown in a setting prepared by the artists themselves; a fin de
siecle (20th century) cafe atmosphere. Expect to see strange and unusual
furniture, bizarre contraptions, filthy vending machines, infernal devices,
self-criticizing paintings, articulate food, and other beautiful and mysterious
objects.

 John
Zeissig
of Alameda, CA received his PhD in physiological psychology from UC Berkeley,
CA. He has been an exhibiting artist since 1990. His work has been shown
in a number of curated group exhibitions, juried competitions, and commercial
galleries in California. The pieces in this show are characterized by a
juxtaposition of dark humor, elegant craftsmanship, and technological virtuosity
that are rarely seen in contemporary art. Also notable is the breath of
materials embraced by this artist - ranging from modern plastics and microprocessor
based electronic circuits to traditional woodwork and oil painting. These
diverse elements are skillfully blended to synthesize the remarkable expression
of Dr. Zeissig's unique and disturbing vision. |

Jonathan Thurston
of Los Altos Hills received his BFA from CSU Chico in printmaking and served
an internship with artist Sheri Simons who taught him much about sculpture
and woodworking techniques. He spent four years in Japan, and his experiences
there inform the sensibility of his work. His work has been exhibited in
a number of one person and juried shows in Northern California. The pieces
in this show are characterized by a humorous outlook on our world and encompass
a diversity of media ranging from printmaking and woodworking to audio.
