**Abstract:** The French word *dispositif*, applied to visual art, encompasses several components of an artwork, such as the apparatus itself as well as its display conditions and the viewers themselves. In this article, I examine the concept of *dispositif* in the context of holography and, in particular, synthetic holography (computer-generated holography). This analysis concentrates on the holographic space and its effects on time and colors. A few comparisons with the history of spatial representation allow us to state that the holographic *dispositif* breaks with the perspective tradition and opens a new field of artistic research and experimentation.
