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.

The Ugly Ducklings were one of the first garage bands to emerge following the succes of the Rolling Stones.
They are still cool, and still cutting it:

actually I was making an observation on most of the "big" shows of late.
They have been dominated by very expensive installation art.
I scratch my head and wonder "couldn't we drop all the drama and do all this DIY?"
I do spend more time looking at online art, interventions, and texts (and have for 10 years) than I do visiting Brick and Mortars these days. I don't miss the Museum Walls. I'm not knocking those works howerver. Expensive people should have expensive art. I'm so cheap.

well, these are "expensive works" made by expensive artists.
They have a sheen that only money can buy, and the artistic merit is a second thought, I'm sure. How much would it cost to make one of these artists work.
Could you do it on a teachers salary? answer... no.
You might have to be at leats a lwyer or investment counsellor.
A dentist or doctor would do.
The point is, the presentation is a very,very expensive affair.
And the idea loses its appeal without the expensive presentation.
Could you afford the expense of creating works the way these 2 artists do?
If so, then hey, could you lend me a few?

no..., probably not
well you had to ask.

by the way,
William Carlos Williams was Robert Smithsons Doctor (handled the birth, I think). He was the Smithsons early GP.
And a good one from what has been recorded.
