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.

I'm not a Twittering My Book of Space Faces type of guy nor will I ever buy a Cell Phone but I'd definitely buy a Ticket for this Adventure. Splendid work as usual Doc, even though there seems there is work to be done yet on loosening the tongues of those Bivalves. Peace

doarte Sir, you are comical. It is a wild story you tell about the lives many are living with this 21st Century technology. But I am thinking it is not in the least boring. At anyrate to the Madhouse I want to come and enjoy the beautiful water objects. It is a stunning image, so wonderfully creative. Love the phones!! Magnificent as usual!!!! Love it!

I'll tell you straight out, Bats don't twit, tweak or tango with tiny techno-terrors! If we found one tittering in our pocketses, we'd drop it from ten thousands into the turpidity of silence! Did you just say viagra and humpback whale in the same sentence???

This is beyond brilliant, and I'm already on the phone to the MADHOUSE to book passage to the new SEADOME!!! Can't wait for a chance to get away, and to interact with the sea life :)

Fantastic scene and melding of the elements. The only problem I see is that the aquatic animals would be much too intelligent to bother conversing with us mere humans.

and here I was thinking I had seen all the types of flying fish there were. Oh well !!!. Very nice work too :)

Wayne, your posts are a real treat for the eyes in so many ways! Your art is fantastic, of course, and your prose never fails to bring a grin - just delightful! i'll even forgive the 'clam up' pun! Hehehe.. I'm online getting my tickes - I'm all over this idea for a great vacation. Of course, I'll be waiting for my tny pocket tyrant to beep me with a confirmation! LOL! Completely and utterly a fave for me!

LOL very lovely Wayne, I would just love to come and visit your MADHOUSE MIDWAY’S SEADOME ;-) Excellent work!!
goldie
well, i am probably one of the last hold outs when it comes to all those gadgets...i don't even have a cell phone, let alone do i twitter. the last thing i want is to be available at all times to the outside world. though, i must admit i would thoroughly enjoy a visit to your seadome with its diacoustical devices :). wonderful job on this super, highly imaginative scene! like how you've incorporated those wings with the mermaid...
