AOMIII, or Arthur O. Mohagen III currently resides in Madison, Wisconsin, where he earned his MFA from the University of Wisconsin in 2006.

Arthur has recently begun a new body of work exploring the aesthetic of airports. Exploring his interest in how air travel technology has become part of our visual and cultural lexicon. Its sounds are so familiar we hardly look to the sky anymore unless there is tragedy. Less than 80 years ago, commercial flight was rare. Now, at any given time, there are thousands of flights in the sky. With the understanding that airplanes are to us what the railroad must have been to the people of the 19th century, this work will uncover how air travel has affected our lives.
