The Techno-Impressionist art movement, which Tony began in the last decade of the Twentieth Century, appeared to contradict the popular art movements of the time. In some ways, it was similar to the break from tradition that marked the first Impressionist movement in the 19th Century. Evolving into the present, Techno-Impressionism is a "trans-millennial" art movement.
Techno-Impressionism uses modern tools and methods to create images that appeal to the viewer in the same manner as the works of the first Impressionist movement. Tony did not fall prey to the lure of the technical and become a "computer artist" or "digital artist."
The Techno-Impressionist Museum first opened to the public on the World Wide Web in 1995. It was an experiment in new ways of displaying art. Tony realized that "Internet Art" - which required both good art and a gallery that could properly display it - was an art form in itself. The entire Techno-Impressionist movement is an artwork. In a sense, an art movement (with its own museum) is the ultimate artwork.
The Techno-Impressionist museum is different from other museums on the web because the art is easy to view. Much of the art was created especially to be viewed under the unusual environment that defines the web. The layout of the museum makes it easy to navigate. In addition, Tony continuously experiments with new ways of displaying art on the internet.
