The Tokyo　Metropolitan of Photography and the Sankei Shimbun are pleased to announce The Quest for Vision,Volume3:3DVisiins-Look into history and future expression. The Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography’s moving image archives are organized into five basic themes: The Unfolding Imagination, Animation Stereo-vision, Expansion and Contraction, and The Moving Image as Record. The annual Quest for Vision exhibition series takes material from one of these five themes, and development of moving images, proposes new perspectives on contemporary expressions using the latest technologies.
This is the third of the series, and this year’s themes, Stereo-vision, refers to the visual principles which predicate today’s stereoscopic moving image culture, and principles which have brought depth to the world of 2D moving images. As stereoscopic moving imagery is in resurgence in entertainment, medicine and consumer electronics, high hopes are once again laid at its feet. And yet, it is not commonly known that stereoscopy has a tradition of over 170 years. This exhibition will both investigate its historical origins archival materials, and present contemporary stereoscopic art works. The aim of the exhibition is to present various perspectives on how new stereoscopic expressions will be born.
