Description:
Heron’s Stereoscope offers a traditional stereoscopic view of the “Heron’s Dreamscape” mural. A hand-painted plate highlights aspects of the mural that can be manually focused through the stereoscope’s
lens and viewer assembly. This traditional 19th-century apparatus plays in contrast to contemporary notions of augmented reality, more typically situated in the realm of electronic and time-based media. Here, the physical apparatus of the stereoscopic viewer grounds audiences in the material world, asking for greater sensitivities to the site of activity.
