Description:

Stereoscopic 3-D image creation as we know it today has its earliest roots in the 19th century, dating to the very beginning of photography. 3-D SPACE: The Center For Stereoscopic Photography, Art, Cinema, and Education is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit museum dedicated to the art, science, and history of stereoscopic images. 3-D SPACE Founder and CEO Eric Kurland will present an overview of the history of stereo photography, from its origins in the mid-1800s through its waves of popularity during the 20th century to the latest digital 3-D technologies. He will tell the personal story of how his passion for 3-D led to the creation of the museum and how it inspires his recent work of collaborating with other museums and nonprofit organizations to produce images for View-Master style stereoscopic reels.

Eric Kurland is an award-winning filmmaker, 3-D specialist, and CEO of 3-D SPACE, The Center For Stereoscopic Photography, Art, Cinema, and Education. Consulting on 3-D projects, his clients have included National Geographic, NASA JPL, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. 3-D director of the Grammy-nominated OK Go music video All Is Not Lost.
