New Dimensions in SEX and Beauty
3d CD-ROM project by Larry Ferguson and Boris Starosta
The CD is still available as of early 2004.
The CD has been produced in LIMITED quantities.
Each Limited Edition CD comes with anaglyph/stereo pair cover artwork, printed on my Espon 1270 printer on glossy photo paper (see below). Each cover is individually signed by both myself and Larry Ferguson, and is individually numbered. Likewise, the CD label is an anaglyph printed with the Epson 1270, and individually numbered. These images are photo quality. The CD comes to you in a slim jewel case. This is a very nice professional looking package!
In addition to the CD, you receive a pair of paperboard anaglyph glasses (made by American Paper Optics with top quality red/cyan filters).
Special: the first 100 buyers (CDs 1/200 through 100/200) get two coupons worth $10 _each_ towards the purchase of a piece of fine art direct from either Larry Ferguson or Boris Starosta.
The MPEG file is of excellent quality, with minimal artifacting, and can be watched quite nicely at full screen (800x600) resolution. I would say it is nearly VHS quality. (This is a fun video to watch. As tradition indicates, on the last day of the convention, Larry Ferguson, Boris Starosta, and several other friends went "sightseeing" in Buffalo. The sights we saw were just a little different, though...)
The CD is formatted to be legible to both Macs and PCs. The contents of the CD are driven by html files that include background information, artist resumés, how to order fine art, etc. For viewing the stereo images on the CD, several options/utilities are included. For users of JAVA capable browsers (should be most of you), Monte Ramstad has kindly included for me his very capable Stereo Viewport(TM). This utility allows viewing images in reduced size, full size, or zoomed size. This is especially nice for the stereo pair images. The Viewport also allows switching the pairs from parallel to cross-eyed mode. Other viewing solutions provided are direct links to image subdirectories, and an html-driven slide show. For Mac users, each image directory includes a freestanding slide show viewer.
CD case front cover is a stereo pair and an anaglyph.
This is a Ferguson stereoview, shown at about 1/2 scale. Views on CD will be twice this size.
This is a Starosta anaglyph stereoview, shown at about 2/3 scale. Image on CD will be 1.5 times bigger.
This is an actual size frame (2x size) captured from John Goodman's video on the CD.
The first 100 buyers get $20 worth in coupons good towards fine art purchase.
You must be over 21 to purchase.
