A 3-D slide program in the NSA Stereo Theater also showcased Abe's work. Fittingly, Abe's crossview paintings were displayed in the Stereo Art Gallery adjacent to Jerry Oldaker's crossview digital fractal images. When Abe and Jerry met it was a definite meeting of the minds. Interview Before shipping off Abe's paintings to the NSA Convention, I spent some time with him dis- cussing how he began to make paintings in such an unusual modality. Zone: What was your first experience of 3-D? Fagenson: It was in art school. I was a GI and went there after World War I1 on the GI Bill. While in the Air Force, I had spent a year up in Iceland. And there was nothing to do in Ice- Anyway, after a couple of land. I was always interested in when there was a break in com- bat.

It was the Stereo-Realist. I was just beginning to see 3-D in movies. "Wow!" I said. "This is real. It's fantastic!" All these artists, Picas- so and Braque, were trying to get 3-D space. And all they had to do was open up the other eye! The 3-D cameras were a couple hundred dollars when they first came out. That was a bit of I money at the time. But they had a pile of cameras on sale at Montgomery Ward and they were selling for $35 each. I couldn't pass it up. I had to get the camera. I tried it. It was fantastic and from that moment on everything had to be stereo for me. Zone: So, you started shooting stereo transparencies? Fagenson: Yes. And I have hun- Abe Fagenson, "Cc " ...... j ...... dreds of them. Which is also why I've got the Apple computer and the scanner, because I want to save my film. Now, of course, I I'm talking about 40 to 50 years later. Zone: Did you shoot on Kodachrome? Because 1 I Kodachrome is archival. Fagenson: Some were beginning to fade. I've scanned them all in 3-D, at large size. I've still got the film. But now I have all the 3-D stuff on a disk. As time went by, I remember being in an airplane. It was in the early 1990s. I was looking at 1 I a magazine and saw this random dot stereogram and it turned out to be an airplane. I stared at it a while and it came to me and I saw it. I almost jumped out of I the seat.

Zone: When you're making the work, how do you keep it precise and make the stereo correct? Fagenson: Everything has to stay horizontal with the variation. So, I go from a centerline to a centerline with the spacing. It's a variation of centerlines. I finally realized that I could make a drawing, that it could be the right hand drawing and it could be just plain two dimensions. Then, I put some tracing paper on it and would trace, but move things maybe an eighth of an inch left or right. There was a limit that was at about an inch. Zone: Was that an overall variation or just in one direction? Abe Fagenson, ""fliht. " Fagenson: It would be two inches .."...... - overall. And that was a strain. If you stand back eight to twelve feet it would be out of range, if you go beyond an inch on either side. So I tried to stay within the comfort range by going only an inch to the left and an inch to the right. Actually about 314 of an inch is what I really use. There are many early paintings I made that went beyond what is comfortable. I just grew as I did this. After one painting, I would do another and started to even use variation within the colors so that there was a little shimmering between the pair of paintings. Zone: Retinal rivalry? Fagenson: Yes. I found that it could be very pleasant. And you can get colors that you just can't get out of a tube, or by mixing colors. It was subtle but the Zone: And then you use tracing cated.

STEREO PHOTOGRAPHY WITH VARIABLE STEREO BASE by George Themelis covered varying the stereo base for hyper and hypo stereo photography, plus the interaction between stereo base and focal length. Stereo Theater Located in the middle of the huge convention center next to the Trade Fair, the Stereo Theater included the projection (some- times twice) of over 50 still or video presentations over four days. Only eleven of the shows were projected slides, with the rest being digital and involving various combinations of still or video imagery. The complex schedule, divided between moping, afternoon and evening sessions, required four emcees: Jan Burandt, Susan Pinsky, David Starkman and Ray Zone. The fact that the few glitches were generally too brief to allow a quick trip to the restroom is thanks to the hard work of pro- jectionists Larry Moor, Lee Pratt and George Themelis.

The microscopic crystallography in "Micro - Cosmos" by john Hart of Colorado uses his method in which images at two narrow-bands in the red and blue are used to re-cakulate the thickness and birefringent axis distribution of each substance. The show earned one of the Stereo Theater judge's Awards for the way it reveals the visual similarities of objects from the microscopic to the cosmic.

Both halves are made of black plastic, however, the front half has a white strip affixed for writing cap- tions. The front half also has peel- and-stick adhesive strips above and below the apertures, to hold the film. I found that I still had over 20 medium format pairs from that 1979-84 period that had never been stereo mounted. Some were in the Kodak cardboard 120 mounts, and some were uncut in sleeves. Even without the mounting jig I found the film fairly easy to mount.

On the other hand, the images fill up so much of your field of view that the edges are quite secondary, compared to smaller film formats or classic stereo cards. Also, the outer dimensions of the plastic mounts are larger than other mounts that have been used for a number of years. So, if you choose to use these plastic mounts you are locked into using the two viewer models made by 3D-World. The viewer has an excellent overall design.
