The problem with Pepper's Ghost: Incorporating pseudo-holographic and holophonic technology into the contemporary music performance space

With the emergence of holographic projection technology we have witnessed the rise of the phenomenon of the holographic performer. This article examines the relevance of the holographic performer and how this trend might influence the future of live music performance. The research looks at some of the developing technologies based around holographic products and techniques, and seeks to implement them into a novel performance space. This space is designed with the intention of further exploring an emerging performance paradigm that integrates holographic techniques with live musical performance. To execute this project, I have worked with industry technology, and tested some self designed technology solutions to create a unique 3D holographic performance space. This performance space is designed to be scalable to suite venues ranging from mid-sized theatres to major music festivals and hopes to inspire reimagining’s of the conventional contemporary music performance environments.
