New Dimensions in SEX and Beauty

3d CD-ROM project by Larry Ferguson and Boris Starosta

The CD is available in LIMITED quantities. This auction is for Limited Edition number 199/200.


About the editions:

  • Twenty _Special Edition_ CDs (with lenticular art/case) sold out this fall.
  • Thirty _Artist Proof_ CDs are now sold out or otherwise unavailable.
  • 200 _Limited Edition_ Cds. Some of these remain available at auction.

Each Limited Edition CD comes with anaglyph/stereo pair cover artwork, printed on an Espon 1270 printer on glossy photo paper (see below). Each cover is individually signed by both Boris Starosta and Larry Ferguson, and is individually numbered. Likewise, the CD label is an anaglyph printed with the Epson 1270, and individually numbered by hand. These images are photo quality. The CD comes to you in a slim jewel case. This is a very nice professional looking package!

In addition to the CD, you receive a pair of paperboard anaglyph glasses (made by American Paper Optics with top quality red/cyan filters).


The CD contains:

  • 175 nudes by Boris Starosta in full color stereo pair and ANAGLYPH format (800x600 typical).
  • 184 nudes by Larry Ferguson in stereo card format (800x400 image typical).
  • 38 nudes/misc. Buffalo images (various photographers) in stereo pair and anaglyph.
  • 29 nudes from Buffalo Sessions by Larry Ferguson in stereo card format.
  • 33 FLAT (Yikes!) editorial and fun images from Buffalo by Larry Ferguson.
  • 25,620 frames (400x300, flat, sorry) in the form of a 14:14 minutes, 30fps, MPEG1 video on the Buffalo Sessions, shot on location by John Goodman. 

The MPEG file is of excellent quality, with minimal artifacting, and can be watched quite nicely at full screen (800x600) resolution. It is nearly VHS quality. (This is a fun video to watch. As tradition indicates, on the last day of the NSA convention, Larry Ferguson, Boris Starosta, and several other friends went "sightseeing" in Buffalo. The sights seen were just a little different, though...) 

The CD is formatted to be legible to both Macs and PCs. The contents of the CD are driven by html files that include background information, artist resumés, how to order fine art, etc. For viewing the stereo images on the CD, several options/utilities are included. For users of JAVA capable browsers (should be most of you), Monte Ramstad has kindly included for me his very capable Stereo ViewportTM. This utility allows viewing images in reduced size, full size, or zoomed size. This is especially nice for the stereo pair images. The Viewport also allows switching the pairs from parallel to cross-eyed mode. Other viewing solutions provided are direct links to image subdirectories, and an html-driven slide show. For Mac users, each image directory includes an additional freestanding slide show viewer.


About the artists:

Larry Ferguson has over two decades experience as a commercial portrait photographer and artist. He has had over 300 Museum and Gallery exhibitions (Art Institute of Chicago, Walker Art Center, The Friends of Photography, etc.). Boris Starosta is well known in the stereo photography community, with numerous awards in international competions, including "Stereo Image of the Year 2000" and "Stereo Image of the Year 2001" in the Photographic Society of America. Together, they represent the vanguard in contemporary fine art nude and erotic stereoscopic photography. Both artists sell original artworks to collectors the world over, but this CD marks their debut in the multimedia market. This CD represents your first opportunity to obtain images from these artists in a very economical package.
