About the Artist

David Gail Smith

I do freelance code work too.

TRADITIONAL MEETS FUTURISTIC

I am a visual artist currently based in Dallas, Texas. I began writing code as a teen on a TI-99/4a and later an Apple //c until leaving home for college in the late 80s. Fast-forward three decades. After retiring in 2014 from 21-year military aviation career, I now endeavor to rediscover the “energy of wonder” I possessed as a young man before the military. Post-military, I completed 2 degrees: a BFA in Studio Art and a BA in Creative Computation. Originally from Erie, Pennsylvania, I moved across the U.S. several times while growing up and served nearly half of my military career overseas. My world travels, exposure to many cultures, and life experiences have given me a unique perspective. My work experiments across media, involving emotional introspection of my experiences and shared influences with others in our world. I am on an eternal quest for themes that bind people, share cultures, and celebrate humanity in pursuit of what is universal and simply put - beautiful and interesting. I seek to defy stereotypes, transcend divisive and useless social and political assumptions, and connect with anyone in search of common ground. With one foot in fine arts and another in computers, I strive to combine art with technology, the traditional with the cutting-edge, and the ancient with the futuristic, in search of an art that is the hybrid of historical tradition and future technology.
