Betsy Connors – Light Ocean: and what the poor fish ate

September, 2015

Inspired by the Great Pacific Garbage Patch this installation  creates a holographic juxtaposition with a strong message. The installation Light Ocean is work-in-progress which continues Connor’s long series of holographic installations inspired by the environment.  Bring together hologram elements with computer-controlled devices to play with light or motion these installations produce a sense of dynamics in nature.

Connors studied and taught at MIT’s Media Lab for almost two decades and has exhibited her work internationally.  She has recently re-built her company/lab ACME Holography in the Boston area.

The master holograms for Light Oceans were created at the HoloCenter’s AIR program with Harris Kagan at Ohio State. The transfers are being created at ACME Holography.
