<title>Jul 03, 2011 - Use your eyes</title>
<link>http://www.artmuse2.com/artmuse2-0382.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[The more you use your eyes the more you will appreciate Techno-Impressionism, the art of Tony Karp. The more you look his work, the more his images draw you in. As you ponder what you're looking at, view it from far away and then from close up. At some point you'll probably ask "How did he do that".  The nice thing is that he has engaged you. Perhaps in the end you will say "I really like it ",or "that's not for me". Either way Tony Karp has made you think, he has made you use your eyes.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[My father Ben Wasserman has been top of mind for the past several days. I miss him very much. I wish I could thank him for all he did for me. In remembering him I do all I can for his grandson Scott who he loved more than anything in the world. I know he is looking down on Scott who is a wonderful daddy and wishing him a Happy Father's Day!]]></description>

<link>http://www.artmuse2.com/artmuse2-0371.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[She is just a matryoshka doll, about four inches tall but I'm a little jealous. Here you see just one of several iterations that Tony Karp has done of her. Tony is the kind of man that has great admiration for all women and is very, very respectful. It is one of the reasons I love him so much. In this image I see that admiration that he feels.]]></description>

<link>http://www.artmuse2.com/artmuse2-0363.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[I've been busy as Tony's co-creator on his interactive art books. (He says I am like his Steve Jobs pushing for perfection at all costs, sometimes going too far. Sorry sweet artist.) It's absolutely fascinating. Tony is amazing, a real genius. He has built a whole system in Access that either does things InDesign can't do or that enhances features it has that don't do what Tony wants them to it. He is still a master at designing and building computer systems. ]]></description>

<title>May 26, 2010 - A deeper understanding</title>
<link>http://www.artmuse2.com/artmuse2-0356.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[As I  sat in the main gallery of the Techno-Impressionist Museum today I found myself studying the wall with the flowers. Several of the them have a shared quality, all the background information has been removed leaving only the flowers for your eyes to gaze upon. It makes them "pop". That's an expression that Tony and I use when discussing his work. Sometimes this popping is so strong that the picture feels like it's in my head. By that I mean the image remains in front of my eyes even when I am no longer in the same room. ]]></description>

<title>May 11, 2010 - Revisionism at work</title>
<link>http://www.artmuse2.com/artmuse2-0351.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[I could make this a guessing game and ask you what do you think this is a picture of, but I won't. It's a  perspective of the reliquary head of St Yrieix. There was something about this exhibit in the Metropolitan Museum of Art that made Tony go back and look at it many, many times. Tony uses a process he calls revisionism. Fictional revisionism is defined as the retelling of a story with substantial alterations in character or environment, to "revise" the view shown in the original work. Tony Karp has created artistic revisionism. The images on this page give you a view into what happens when Tony chooses a point in the evolution of a work and take it down a completely different path. Here we have a black and white view of St Yrieix breaking thru to the foreground]]></description>

<title>May 05, 2010 - Merging with Giacometti</title>
<link>http://www.artmuse2.com/artmuse2-0350.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[When I decided to post this image I chose it because it's very interesting. It's Tony taking a picture of a self portrait of Giacometti and what you see is his reflection in the glass in front of it. Complex picture but as with all Tony's work, it's what was before his eyes. ]]></description>

<title>May 01, 2010 - Artists in the digital age</title>
<link>http://www.artmuse2.com/artmuse2-0349.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[Today I read a story about how ordinary journalists are being replaced by digital journalists. To my way of thinking one of the keys to success in today's world is one's ability to use technology to enhance your métier or business. I truly believe that if you don't know how to use technology to your advantage you are going to be left behind.]]></description>

<title>Apr 30, 2010 - Dollars on our minds</title>
<link>http://www.artmuse2.com/artmuse2-0348.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[With all this talk about financial reform it's no wonder that money is on our minds. Over the past several years Tony has created some interesting images using a dollar bill. The images are full or irony and humor. ]]></description>

<title>Apr 28, 2010 - Children</title>
<link>http://www.artmuse2.com/artmuse2-0346.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[These are children from a war fought a long ago. Tony hopes they are all grown up now and that they might even be grandparents. They were in an orphanage when Tony first created this image. It's gone thru many many iterations and many revisions in the more than 50 years since it was originally created. None of this could have happened without technology. It's just another possibility that was realized through the seamless integration of art of technology. ]]></description>

<title>Apr 02, 2010 - The brothers Karp - Tony and Peter</title>
<link>http://www.artmuse2.com/artmuse2-0343.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[They were twins. Peter was born 15 minutes before Tony. They became friends late in their life. The first time we went to the Eiffel Tower Tony called Peter to share the moment with him. Peter was very sick by that time. They talked every day sometimes four or five times. They were very different and yet very much alike. The both were software developers, and shared the same political views. When Peter passed away it left a very big void for Tony. ]]></description>

<link>http://www.artmuse2.com/artmuse2-0341.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[Revisionism can span decades. Tony saw this scene from the Staten Island ferry a long time ago. He scanned in the original slide sometime in the 90s. He goes through his catalog of images many times every day. He's probably looked at the original image thousands of time Then one day he got a new tool. He saw possibilities he hadn't seen before.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Wikipedia says "The Borg are a fictional pseudo-race of cybernetic organisms depicted in the Star Trek universe. Aside from being the main threat in Star Trek: First Contact, the Borg also play major roles in The Next Generation and Voyager television series, primarily as an invasion threat to the United Federation of Planets and the means of return to the Alpha Quadrant for isolated Federation starship Voyager, respectively. ]]></description>

<title>Feb 25, 2010 - Technology makes revisionism possible</title>
<link>http://www.artmuse2.com/artmuse2-0338.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[In writing, "revisionism" is defined as the retelling of a story with substantial alterations in character or environment, to "revise" the view shown in the original work. Tony Karp has created "artistic revisionism." Tony's work combines art and technology. What you see here is the result of a change in technology that allowed Tony to see his work differently and ultimately helped him to produce new works. But this time instead of applying the technology to a new set of images Tony went back to some existing work. And voila, artistic revisionism. The technique Tony uses is based on his focusing on a particular element of a given image.]]></description>
