STEREOSKOP
DISPLAY
Background
The term "stereoscopy" originates from the optics.
Charles Wheatstone's stereoscope, made possible, for the first time in history, to make two-dimensional images appear three-dimensional to human eyes.
By viewing two similar images with slightly different perspectives the illusion of a single image with depth is created.
Vision Reference
W. Kentridge’s draw in motion Stereoscope touches on how people make sense of the (real) world and the process of understanding it.
Adding a 3rd dimension to a regarded scene with the help of a device, represents the critical act of understanding.
