KREIGH BARNETTE
1st and Last(?) President of The Mosheum of Holography

Kreigh

I first met Kreigh Barnette (first name pronounced like the first syllable of Crayon) via this begging letter sent to me at info@isdh2024.org: (I was the Conference Organizer for this Lollapalooza for the Holography Community.)

To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Kreigh Barnette, I’m currently in my second year of graduate school, working toward a Master’s degree in Library and Information Science at Kent State University. 
I’m writing to express my interest and enthusiasm to attend ISDH and to ask for your support.
I’m particularly interested in the potential of holography in museum work and historic preservation, which aligns perfectly with my studies. 
The chance to learn from and connect with some of the leading holographers attending this conference would be an incredible opportunity for me. Attending ISDH would provide valuable insights for my academic and professional journey. 
However, as a student, my budget is quite limited. 
I am kindly asking if you would consider waiving the admission fee for me. 
In exchange, I’d be happy to volunteer at the conference in any capacityI won’t require any lodging, as I understand resources are limited.
This opportunity means a lot to me and would contribute to my growth in the field. 
I’m eager to promote the art and science of holography and would love to be part of this community.
Thank you so much for considering my request. 
If there’s any additional information you need, please let me know.
I look forward to possibly attending ISDH!
Best regards,


Kreigh Barnette"

I thought it was a decently-written begging letter, and I figured it deserved a looking at by the Phase Holography Institute, but if I had only known who had ghost-written the above, I would have played my hand differently! And also the PHI, as we were misled by purposeful withholding of information!

So the good folks at the Phase Holography Institute paid for her conference fee for the 2024 International Symposium on Display Holography at Lake Forest College, and I met her with open arms. This medium needs new up and coming young people!

When she arrived at the event, she asked for a table to show her holograms, as all participants at this conference got to exhibit in the Pop-Up Holography Gallery to show their wares.. I supplied one for her, and when I looked at what she was setting up while she was away from the table, I recognized a bunch of tired old stock image embossed and silver halide holograms, and I thought isn't this cute, she's discovering the old chestnuts that were prevalent in the Holographic Boutiques of the 1980's. She's at least a collector of sorts, and wants to show it off.

But then my jaw hit the floor when I saw a pile of these on the table! It only took 2 nanoseconds to recognize the purloined logo!

MOH my ass!

She was a pawn who infiltrated the 2024 International Symposium on Display Holography on the behest of Moshe Tamssot! Ever get the feeling that you've been had?

Mosheum

When queried about how she knew Moshe, she replied that he was a friend of the family. That has to be some eccentric family to let their daughter get involved with the likes of him! But Kreigh's father, Kristopher Barnette had been one of Moshe's Monks of Invention! Maybe it is best to let him describe the situation, via the Real West Loop's Facebook page.

Truly Koop'd

And wait! There's still more! The following snippets were posted by True West Loop'd, (a Facebook page devoted totally to printing the truth about Moshe) who snipped them from email conversations between himself and Kreigh's father posted them. They are in the order of date created, and not one coherent whole.

N O means no!

I apologize if this offends thee, dear reader, but the truth needs to be known about who we are dealing with. It appears at the moment that Moshe is the sickest of all the dramatis personae in this saga. (And for those not so ealily offended, there is more at Moshe's 1134 Dramatis Personae page.)


On the night of March 8th, 2025 I was totally blown away by this:

Kreigh Finale

Click and scroll down until you get to this and listen! Or if you don't want to listen, just read the AI transcription on FB. (And if that page is gone, here is the transcription, cut and pasted and changed into html by Microsoft Word.)

Finale 2

So our hats are off to this young woman and her family, who may just be the ones who bring down this bearded clown who is a pest not only to the world of holography but to the world at large! Good luck in all your ventures!
