Bio

David Burns holds a MFA in Design and Technology from Parsons School of Design. After practicing digital art in New York City for nearly a decade, David now works as an assistant professor in the College of Mass Communication Media Arts at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. He specializes in teaching 3D computer modeling, animation, and digital media theory. He has also taught at Parsons School of Design and Pratt Institute, New York City.

David takes an interdisciplinary approach to art combining a variety of mediums including 3D animation, video, physical computing, drawing, and painting to push the boundaries of artistic expression. David's work has been exhibited internationally at art galleries, museums, film festivals, conferences, and public screenings. Most notably, his digital animation work has been screened at the National Film Theater in London, the National Museum of Photography Film & Television in Bradford, England, the Red Stick International Animation Festival and at the Chelsea Art Museum in NYC. David’s research-creative work was presented at the ISEA Biennial (2008) in Singapore and will be presented this summer at ISEA 2009 in Belfast Ireland.
