Techspressionism is defined as "an artistic approach in which technology is utilized as a means to express emotional experience".

In considering the legacy of the expressionist movements, from Kandinsky and Munter, to the Abstract Expressionists, like Pollock and De Kooning, what is the difference between the Expressionists of the past and today? Emotion is always part of the experience of art, and twice before have artists centered their work on the realm of inner experience. But in the 21st century, technologies like digital computers and Artificial Intelligence have opened up new creative possibilities. Techspressionism features global artists fascinated by the expressive potential of today’s technologies, working together across time zones, borders and cultures. The first Techspressionist collaborative show features founding artists from around the globe in our first set of creative conversations. – Patrick Lichty

This ongoing project, initiated by artist Davonte Bradley, was inspired by the idea of notable collaborations like Warhol and Basquiat, which also takes from the collaborative spirit from the Jazz tradition which Basquiat also drew heavy inspiration from in his own work. The project involves two artists passing a digital file back and forth to result in a collaborative piece.
