- W955270221 abstract "Contains essays and documentation of work towards the MFA degree of the University of Tasmania, 1989.The career of South Australian artist Walter Grosser is discussed. Hisproduction of stereoscopic photographs is placed in the context of thehistory of this medium. Scientific investigation of stereoscopic vision upto the present time is summarised, and reasons are sought for the virtualexclusion of the medium from the art world.Although the Arabs may have recognised the importance of binocular visiona thousand years ago, stereopsis was ignored by Western philosophersuntil Wheatstone's discovery in 1838. Wheatstone's invention of thestereoscope was adapted to photography by Brewster. The device becamepopular, especially in the United States, where it was developedcommercially, importing images, and exporting card-sets and cheapstereoscopes all over the world (including Australia).About 1910, Walter Grosser was struggling to make a living as acommercial photographer in the small South Australian town of Millicent.His commercial work included stereoscopic views but he made also asmall opus of unusual and intensely personal work in the medium(illustrated). His photographic production ceased by 1914, probably as aresult of wartime anti-German sentiment.After Wheatstone and Brewster, science ignored stereopsis for a century.Research resumed only after the commercial development had virtuallyended in the 1930's.. Theories of visual space-perception were based onanalogies of camera and range-finder. In 1960 Julesz usedcomputer-generated patterns to show these analogies to be inappropriate.Current theory suggests visual space-perception is achieved by corticalscanning and comparison of the two visual fields. Other 'cue-systems' areusually of secondary importance.The paper ends by suggesting reasons for lack of interest in stereoscopicwork such as that of Grosser within the fine arts, and fantasises onconnexions yet to be established between stereoscopic photography andholography." @default.
