  1. Zebra Imaging in Austin, TX by Luyseyal · · Score: 2, Informative · on Inside the Lab of One of the World's Last Holographers

    I happen to know Michael Klug, one of the partners in Zebra Imaging. They're still doing holography like they've done for years now. Why do people think it's dead?

    On a semi-related note, our family visited the Salador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, recently and they have a cool hologram of Alice Cooper that Dali did back in the '70s. Definitely worth checking out -- though I recommend waiting until their new building opens in Jan 2011.

    I'd rather recomment the Lincoln by Dali, aka "Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea Which at 20 Meters Becomes The Portrait of Abraham Lincoln". It was directly inspired by computer technology, so very apt. Poster here

    Yeah, that museum in St. Petersburg, Florida is just an optical illusion.

    I wouldn't even go that far. Dali had a few unique paintings and drawings, then things slid downhill. A case study in dysfunctionality.

    Well, I guess you have never been here then:

    And have never seen something like this:

    (this piece is about 10 feet tall or so. stunning.)

    Some of the paintings are amazing. He did way more than the crazy surrealist stuff that everyone knows him for.

  6. Re:Disney Does Dali by Jon+Abbott · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Disney Completes Dali Animation
    I'll be interested to see what Dali without the sex looks like in a Disney cartoon.
    Being that Disney owns Miramax (the company that makes films that generally use the word "fuck" more times than the word "the"), perhaps they will put Destino at the beginning of one of those films...

    I've been to the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, FL, and while there are a lot of pieces where adult themes are tossed about, there are plenty of pieces that aren't... If you get to visit the St. Pete museum sometime in the future, be sure to check out The Hallucinogenic Toreador -- it's a huge oil painting that has more subtle meanings than I've ever seen in a painting (by any artist). Sadly the online version does not do it any justice...
