Salvador Dalì created a 3D hologram portrait of Alice Cooper in 1973
In April 1973, surrealist painter Salvador Dalì and rock star Alice Cooper met in New York and spent two weeks together. Dalì then proposed to turn Cooper into an artwork, resulting in the "First Cylindric Chromo-Hologram Portrait of Alice Cooper's Brain." The hologram depicts Cooper in surrealist style, holding a brain-shaped sculpture topped with a chocolate éclair and swarming with ants. Dalì called it "the Dalì version of Alice Cooper's brain," to which Cooper replied, "wow, I never thought I'd get that."
