doarte
I live in New York City and am a practicing artist and educator.
Â
To begin … I have an M.F.A. from the University of Arizona. My academic and professional career include: teaching at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, serving as Director of the renowned 92 ST. Y’s Photography Department in New York City and Executive Director of the Institute for Art and Photographic Resources in Westchester New York and also an Adjunct Professor at New York University.
Other career highlights: I was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and Polaroid chose some my images for its 50th anniversary celebration … POLAROID 50, a collection of 50 leading artists including famous artists as Andy Warhol, Ansel Adams, Cindy Sherman, etc.
My work has appeared internationally in galleries and museums, including the Toyko Metropolitan Museum of Photography, 80 Washington Square Gallery, New York City, Gallerie Mabrie in Paris, France, Lombard Freid Gallery, New York City, The Photographers Gallery London, England, Visage London, England, X+Â Brussels, Belgium Contretype, Brussels, Belgium, Thomans Cohn Gallery Rio de Janerio, Brazil, Foundation Canon Image Center Amsterdam, Art Institute Chicago, Illinios, Caltherine Edelman Gallery Chicago, Illinois, Kara Geneve, Zurich, Switzerland. Baronian -Lambert, Ghent Belgium.

A parallel “passion†for computer art began 15 years ago with 3D image making and the now ancient Photoshop 5 which culminated in QUESTIONS FOR A FETUS … a three-month installation of some 60 digital images sponsored by the Mother Earth Committee of New York City.
And now?  Now there’s doarte’s merry MADHOUSE with its Museum of Unnatural History for mementos past and present, the ODDATORIA Galleries for beasts and beauties, devil dolls and scenes devoted to serenity, a MIDWAY mad for models (fashionable and futuristic, glamorous and ghastly). And of course there is a circus serving divine divas to acrobatic rats … dozens of digital images dedicated to a relief from reality.
But the grandest dream of all … joining with other digital artist to make the computer a respected and important contributor to the world of art … just as the camera did for the world of photography.

Well...not everyone has one and it is no surprise that someone at Dr. Doarte's Madhouse would find one, if there was one to be found. Though, I have been told, that one doesn't turn ones back on one. Fantastic scene, as usual! Excellent

Again, My Dear Doctor, has the hidden sanctuary of the Odditorium revealed it's most trusted secrets, to us.... you most devoted and loyal fans and supporters... Had the rest of the world the desired courage to look beyond the pale of sicklied thought, one would readily realize tht the abundant and somewhat heretical knowledge is at our fingertips, as occasioned by your reveal of Buzz the Clinician.... your bravery, forethought, and artistic skilll bespeak volumes as to the veracity of your work... I salute you, Doctor, and will gladly veture forth again and agin, into the deep recesses of the Odditoria. Commander, Sir Asimov Vinge Zelazney, Terran Trust and Investigations

I guess that will be fine as long as he doesn't look at those little kiddies as delicious soft chewy snacks. ;o) Excellent work. A wonderful story.
