Tony Karp & his passion for Art & Technology has inspired me a lot . Many artists create images from the things they see before their eyes. Tony Karp falls into that category. What sets him apart from other artist's is his ability to make interesting art out of nothing . In fact i chose my camera Panny DMC FZ 28 looking at the pictures which he has projected in his Art and the Zen of Design website .

About the Artist - Tony Karp
Tony Karp has been working with projects involving art and technology for over fifty years. He believes that all art requires technology, and vice versa. Tony calls this blending "Techno-Impresssionism."
Tony's work has taken him down many paths, through many different careers with the common thread being the successful integration of art and technology.
Tony created his first professional images as a photographer. In 1959 and 1960 he took most of the photographs for NBC's on-the-air advertising. His work also appeared in Life Magazine, the New York Times, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated. He received several Art Directors awards for his work.
During the 1960's, Tony's technical interests turned to engineering. The high point of this work was the design of a computer-controlled zoom lens that was used to shoot the opening scene of "The Godfather." For this work, Tony was nominated for an Academy Award for Technical Achievement.
In the early 70s Tony became fascinated with computers. For the next twenty five years Tony was the architect and systems designer for a number of large computer systems. Tony designed and built the computer system that controlled a large multimedia pavilion for the 200th anniversary of the Bill of Rights. At Walt Disney, Tony worked on a "next generation" system for controlling theme park rides and shows.
In the early 90's Tony changed his focus and again made art his metier. He created the concept of Techno-Impressionist art, in which he combined his knowledge of art and computer technology to produce new and varied images. His largest artwork is the Techno-Impressionsist Museum, a complete art movement on an Internet web site. Tony used technology to build the web site, and art to create the images. There are shows, exhibits, and galleries in the museum.
Since restarting his work in art, Tony has had two shows in Paris and several shows at venues in the New York City area.
Tony now works in his studio in a rural area of northern Virginia, creating art for the Internet and prints for galleries
Please have a look though his amazing work & hope we all will get some thing to learn from his work
