In Spring 2020 the CDM Media Lab investigated early optical toys and post-digital viewing devices for 3D images, experimenteing with the construction of images for a 1915 Keystone Stereoscope, the Loreo 3D viewer, and old school red-blue anaglyphic 3D glasses.

Had the class progressed under normal circumstances, student would have moved into developing a series of stereoscopic meme recreations (complete with 19th century costumes), and explored stereoscopic video in both parallel and anaglyph formats; leading to the construction of a “kinetoscope” for the display of stereoscopic video.

With the outbreak of the Corona Virus, as classes moved online, the lab quickly moved into the production of anaglyphic images dealing with the crisis.
