A century of Natural History Photography in Historic 3D Stereophotographs19th Century Victorian stereophotographers captured in 3-dimensions a changing relationship with nature as it was rapidly altered by industrialization and urbanization. Artistic and aesthetic natural beauty, long expressed through sculpture and the graphic arts, were early subjects. Curated institutional museum collections provided venues to preserve and scientifically study the natural world as it underwent relentless alteration, and depletion. Animals and plants from near and far were protected in zoos and parks, in addition to becoming permanent specimens in these newly formed university and civic collections. The visual record of these changes, frozen moments in time, can be stunningly beautiful, intimate, and at the same time inspiring and sad. This talk uses digitized 19th century stereophotographs selected from a pool of 42,000 in the Photoarchive3D collection (www.Photoarchive3D.org) to explore the experience, and study of, natural history in transition to the modern age. No AI, but only primary vintage photography projected in high resolution 3D as originally intended. 3D glasses will be provided. Location: Yale School of Art, Green Hall, Level G, RoomG10, 1156 Chapel Street, New Haven, CT 06520 (buzz at front door).
Lost Worlds in Historic 3D Stereophotographs.
Immerse yourself in the Victorian and Edwardian eras! Exotic, forgotten, and everyday aspects of changing life were faithfully captured by professional photographers throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Using their original 3D photographs, we will directly see emergence of the industrialized world, iconic places and events, and travel to foreign lands. Regional social, environmental, and lifestyle differences are presented through the eyes of contemporaries. Images are selections from 38,000 recently digitized original 19th and 20th century stereophotographs in the vaults at Photoarchive3D. Projected in three dimensions as originally intended. RSVP in advance to the BCAPG for event details.
The 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition was the first great international worlds fair held in the United States, celebrating 100 years of independence. It presented to the world a unified, post-civil war, ascendant nation whose adaptive industrial and growing commercial base became the envy of others. A sprawling manicured campus made up of cavernous thematic international exhibition halls and quaint state buildings drew over 10 million visitors. There was a humming mechanical hall, main pavilion with acres of domestic and international goods, separate agricultural and arts buildings, and even a specialized women’s pavillion. The first monorail, arm of the Statue of Liberty, first gasoline engine, and massive Corliss steam engine were just a few of the innovations on view. It was extensively photographed in 3 dimensions by pioneering stereophotographers, allowing the Photoarchive3D collection (www.Photoarchive3D.org) to project for this talk in high resolution 3D as originally intended. No AI, just well digitized vintage images. 3D glasses will be provided. Register here in advance.
