 Digital Fine Art Society of New Mexico

The Digital Fine Art Society of New Mexico will hold its third annual group show, opening August 5th and continuing through August 30th, at the Harwood Art Center, 1114  7th St. NW, in Albuquerque. The Exhibit Reception will be from 5:00 - 8:30 pm on August 20th, in conjunction with the citywide ArtsCrawl. Show hours are Monday through Friday 10 am-4 pm and by appointment.

The Digital Fine Arts Society of New Mexico (DFAS-NM) was founded in the spring of 2002 to share ideas and knowledge, to educate, and to promote the advancement of Digital Fine Art. As of July 2004, there are 85 members in 20 communities around New Mexico.  Members of the Society include Betty Keisel, Nancy Corrigan, Carol Devillers, Sylvia Ortiz-Domney, Fermin Hernandez, John Peterson, Alex Chavez, Ursula Freer, J.D. Jarvis, Bruce Shortz and more.

Digital Fine Art, printed with archival pigmented inks on archival papers and canvas, encompasses digital painting, digital photography and darkroom, and computer generated art. The computer allows the artist to mix and manipulate these techniques into exciting new work. This work was considered "new media", but is quickly becoming mainstream.

Darwin Awards:
What's That Sound?

Police said an Olathe man was struck and killed by a train after his vehicle broke down on Interstate 35. His attempts at repairing his car had failed, and he had stepped away from the busy freeway to call for help, when the train engineer spotted him standing on the tracks. The engineer said the man was holding a cell phone to one ear, and cupping his hand to the other ear to block the noise of the train. (www.darwinawards.com)

Stupid Human Tricks

Robert, 37, shot himself while explaining gun safety to his wife in Glendale, California, when he placed a .45-caliber pistol he thought was unloaded under his chin and pulled the trigger. Shovestall's wife told police that the incident occurred after her complaints about her husband's 70 guns prompted him to demonstrate their safety.

A 23-year-old bar-brawler who had been escorted out of the Turtle Club in Florida by a bouncer, sneaked back in and leaped off a staircase, aiming a kick at another man, but was killed when he landed on his head.

Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet, didn't put enough postage on a letter bomb, and it came back marked "return to sender." He opened the package and was blown away.

Two animal rights activists were protesting the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn by freeing a captive herd. Suddenly all two thousand of pigs stampeded through the gate they were opening, and trampled the hapless protesters to death.

News of the Weird reports that in September 1996 a man was crushed to death on a stairway at the Sammis Real Estate and Insurance office in Huntington, N.Y., while he was stealing the office's 600-pound safe. He apparently violated that cardinal rule of hauling massive objects: Never stand on a step lower than the one the safe is on. The safe was empty at the time of the incident.

In San Jose, California, Herman, an avid hunter, used the butt of his shotgun to bash his girlfriend's windshield during an argument. But his loaded gun accidentally discharged into his stomach, killing him and ending the argument.

"I cannot help but notice that there is no problem between us that cannot be solved by your departure."
