Marc Friedman is an artist whose creative journey spans the
realms of photography, multimedia, and digital media. Trained initially as a photographer,
his exploration of the intersection between nature and the man-made world, technology, and
science has been a recurring theme throughout his artistic career. Friedman earned his MFA degree
from the Massachusetts College of Art in 1995, complemented by a BA degree from Salem State College
in 1992. Prior to earning his degrees, he attended the School of Visual Arts in NYC, where he
began to hone his skills in art and photography.
Since 1992, he had been actively engaged in the art world, participating in exhibitions that have allowed him to share his evolving perspective on the intricate relationship between the natural-organic, and the artificial. However, life took him on a detour from 2001 to 2023, during which he applied his skills as a Software Engineer in the field of Information Technology. This hiatus, however, was not a departure from art making but rather a divergence, as the challenges and insights gained from his work in IT have helped shape and refine his artistic vision. His recent works are a blend of his technical expertise and a deepened exploration of the coexistence of nature and technology.
