Dower has produced a number of works using stereoscopic 3D in both photography and film. Several sculptural works incorporate 3D stereoscopic viewers into architectural models, using images of the spaces depicted.
Works using stereo photography include:
Mirage 1996;
Salvation 1996; and
No Room in Hell, 3D photographs 1997.
3D films include:
No Room in Hell (absent qualia) 1997 and Boon and Mills 1999 (with
Dick Donkeys Dawn).
Stereo viewer sculptures include Building Site 1999 and Room in Hell 1998.
Stereo images often require some form of supplementary technology to view (and in the case of video, to edit). In order to preview 3D films and photgraphs, Dower developed a technique for viewing stereo images with the naked eye (see
Mirage 1995, for description of this). As a result of the intrusiveness of the technology required for viewing, the artist sometimes presents stereo photographs side by side as twin (right-left) images.
A number of other works concretise sculptural, mnemonic and ergonomic space via the use of video and performance:
Hot Music (1994);
Zou Zou's Mime Reconstructed (1993); and
Automaton (2006).
Yet other works explore 3 dimensionality in relation to sound:
'Parabolic Sound Reflector' 2017;
'OFF AIR' 2014;
'Spectral Analysis' 2012; and
'Laser and Standing Stone' 2019.
