BIO
Eric Dymond is an artist who works with many tools and programming languages.
He graduated from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design with a BFA in studio.<br />
He exhibited paintings in Toronto, Detroit, New York, Montreal and London during the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's. The paintings were created with sandblasted sprays employing formal themes from the history of painting (still life's , individual portraits, traditional landscapes) . These series appear minimal with repeating content and are a form of Serialism.
In the early 1990's he began working with digital media, building perl programs with TCL/TK, web sites (see the doorway on Leonardo) and stand-alone applications.
He continues working in all media, rejecting specialization.

Re: Submit to ISEA 2006 Symposium


so how come, no one at ISEA has the nerve to present The Doorway
(http://www.edymond.com/artseen/door.htm) as I had asked so many years ago.
today, everyone is as surreal/dada/nuts as as I am(and always have been!), and yet, a simple call for 20 monitors is TOO MUCH to ask!
I tell you, there is no respect in the new media community!
Honestly..., isn't it time?
Haven't I given too much?
Don't I bleed like you do?
Don't I cry like you do?
Don't I laugh like you do?

For once, I would like some closure!!!
I quote from the original document (March 1996)
"This project is public property.I would imagine it could be even more effective if it was viewed using twenty monitors(one monitor for each table).If you want to execute the work this way simply strip the html and make each table a URL.This would yield 400 URL's and although that sounds like a lot,I imagine the programming would still be quite easy."
How long do I have to wait????

oh well...., maybe next year
ah, i suffer so long for so little.
