The exhibition includes work by many of the formost hologram artists and other key innovators in the field - milestones from holographic history - along with some of the latest technical developments.
"In holography, our age is still the pioneering age, and the 1980's and 90's are the first age of holographic excellence. The artists who have chosen to work in the new medium are explorers that in later times will be accorded the same interest as Fox Talbot, Roger Fenton and Camille Silvy."
Chris Titterington. Former Assistant Curator of Photography, Victoria and Albert Museum.
The exhibition, devised by Jonathan Ross in association with curators from Banbury Museum and the Oxfordshire County Museum, has been mainly drawn from the Ross collection with support from various leading hologram makers. It comprises over 60 key works.

Arts Council England commissioned Axis to curate an exhibition on the first floor of its national office at Great Peter Street in London. Using the Axis website Arts Council England staff selected nine works which were installed in July 2010.
Axis aimed to reflect the diversity of work being produced around the country and selected 9 artists from their online arts directory.
Arts Council staff were asked to curate the exhibition by selecting artworks from each of the nine English regions. The selected was installed for 17 months at the Council's Great Peter Street London headquarters.
The piece selected by Axis and the Arts Council staff, from Andrew Pepper, was Cut Column, a laser-cut 'drawing' based on an earlier holographic monoprint, “Centre Column”, produced in 1989 and now held in the Lauk Collection, Germany.
