BioArt Changes
Dear Netherzone: I am grateful for all your Wikipedia editing, though I am trying to understand why you changed the reference in the BioArt page and removed the photo?

It said: ...through the works of pioneers like Suzanne Anker, Joe Davis, and Ken Rinaldo and the artists hosted by Symbiotica, BioArt is more widely practiced now. It was changed to "through the works of pioneers like Suzanne Anker, Joe Davis, and the artists hosted by Symbiotica, BioArt is more widely practiced now."

As the artist, I felt it was well established that I was one of the pioneers in this field, having won an Award of Distinction from Ars Electronica for the Work the Augmented Fish Reality. As you are aware, since you have been editing for the arts for some time, Ars Electronica is the most competitive competition in the field. I have been doing BioArt since 1988 and have also been, in over 25 countries, to display my bioart and robotic artworks. This work has traveled to France where it was commissioned to Manizales, Columbia, The Biannale of Electronic Arts in Perth, to Lisbon Portugal (where I took the photo that was posted) to the MEDIA ARTS MADRID AT THE CONDE DUQUE CULTURAL CENTRE Madrid, WORLD OCEAN MUSEUM Kaliningrad, Russia, CENTRO NACIONAL DE LAS ARTES Mexico City, Mexico, NATIONAL CENTRE FOR CONTEMPORARY ARTS Kaliningrad, Russia, THIRD MOSCOW BIENNALE Moscow, Russia, and to MAISON d’AILLEURS, MUSEUM OF SCIENCE FICTION, UTOPIA & EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEYS Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland to name a few, and it seems it has been vetted on the world stage? There are many catalogs and online references. Perhaps the reason it was removed, was a poor reference? There are many publications that discuss this work as well: https://www.google.com/search?biw=1237&bih=852&tbm=bks&ei=qzM0X7_5CY24tAbqop6ABA&q=%22augmented+Fish+Reality%22&oq=%22augmented+Fish+Reality%22&gs_l=psy-ab.3...26668.31039.0.31278.2.2.0.0.0.0.137.243.0j2.2.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.1.136...33i299k1.0.Dq5blEdrfJo

Thanks for any explanation,

Ken
