Bill Reid Foundation Transforms Cultural Artifacts into Digital Works of Art with RabbitHolesDecember 12th, 2007The versatility of RabbitHoles 3D Motion Holograms was recently showcased when digital holographic representations of famous pieces by Canadian artist Bill Reid, the iconic Master of Haida Art, were featured in the opening exhibition of the new Bill Reid Museum of Northwest Coast Art in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. The RabbitHoles 3D Motion Hologram is an invaluable tool that enables museums to reach a broader audience through a new medium of expression for their artifacts. The Bill Reid Foundation chose to display The Spirit of Haida Gwaii – arguably Reid’s most famous piece, grazing the back of the Canadian $20 bill – The Raven and the First Men and The Farewell Screen in the RabbitHoles medium since it is considered to be the next best thing to seeing the pieces in the flesh. The RabbitHoles technology is so dazzling that some contemporary art collectors believe it to be even more exciting than the real thing! Check out the Bill Reid images, including The Spirit of Haida Gwaii, Raven and the First Men, and The Farewell Screen, in the Art Gallery. |
