STEREOSKOP

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.

Mission Statement

Cultivating an understanding of cultural spaces is the core mission of the “Stereoskop” itself.

We form valuable perspective through culturally scientific narrative, relevant display, to eventually comprehend specifically selected areas of cultural tension.

Areas of Tension

Stereoskop is a tool. To form mutual understanding where it is needed.

Where we find tensions within a topic, we engage with it. To add a relevant perspective, to see and make sense of the world.
