For Arts Sake Media's mission is to empower art through technology. We provide artists with tools to take what they have created and give them endless possibilities -- store their work forever in a safe digital environment, educate themselves, explore, communicate, share, buy, sell and most importantly take provided tools and make whatever they want from these public offerings.
About Me: Currently creating artwork from his studio in Haymarket, Va., Karp has been working with projects involving art and technology for more than 50 years. He believes all art requires technology and he calls this blending “Techno-Impressionism.”
Karp 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, and he received several awards for his work. During the 1960s, Karp’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” which earned him an Academy Award nomination for technical achievement.
In the early 1990s, Karp 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-Impressionist Museum, a complete art movement on a Web site, timuseum.com. Visitors to the virtual museum can enjoy numerous exhibits and galleries.
