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 that is Odd Odd indeed to find such a dool with her wee lil eyes left intact, as you know the odd fellow has a most dislikeable habbit of pushing the lil glass eyes to the backs of the dolls heads leaving them with an odd and creepy apperance so as you dont like to look at them too long, so oggles I would assume has a most interesting punishment of all haveing to watch what is to come, perhaps sometimes the seeing is the worse then then not just a thought. Peace Dayna xx

Another fine find in the Madhouse Catacombs I'd say. Figure how to tune that left Lens just to see through materials and it's the perfect Mall Sightseeing device, the right perfect for those Black Hellicopters always Snooping around too I would think. Awesome work Doc, always great to see another installment ::Clapping:: Peace

My Dear Doctor, on review of this notation, I offer condolences to your staffer on the loss of appendages, some in my employ have also suffered such grievious injuries, but through therapy, have adapted well to their enventment. The doll Oggles, devilicious contraption though it is, seems to be a bit of an OOPART (Objects out of place and relative time), found buried deep beneath your existing structures yet possessing technological capabilities well beyond that of modern ken. I do urge caution, though I do know that you and your staff of highly trained techno-sciencests are of great capablity when dealing with the ordinary out of the ordinary, but for this I do fear for the safety and security of the other denizens of the Odditoria. For even the loss of a single of your "guests" would diminish us all. My intended, Lady Contance Charming-Dahl, sends her love and best wishes.....
