Summary
Rob Duarte is an associate professor and interdisciplinary artist who blends a decade of academic leadership in digital fabrication and new media with deep technical roots in software, systems administration, and bioinformatics. Based in Tallahassee, he has taught and developed studio, video, and interactive curricula at institutions including Florida State University, UCSD, and Harvard Medical School, while maintaining a studio practice and consulting on museum-scale exhibits. His early career as a programmer and systems specialist (Perl, PHP, LAMP, Linux clusters) informs a practical, tool-oriented approach to art and teaching that bridges code, hardware, and fabrication. Known for translating complex technical workflows into hands-on learning, he brings an uncommon combination of fine art MFA training and CS/BIS grounding to research-led creative practice.
