This is a photograph of artist Colin Goldberg in Hearst Tower, NYC, with his work Kneeling Icon. Kneeling Icon is an example from the artist's Metagraph Series, a body of vector-based digital drawings begun in 1999. The piece was digitally drawn in 2004 and produced as a large-scale physical work in 2022. Kneeling Icon has an AR (augmented reality) component, in which the physical work animates when viewed through an AR app on a mobile device, transforming into a 23-second-long animation that was minted as an NFT in 2021. Both the physical work and the NFT were acquired by Hearst as part of their corporate collection in 2022.

Colin Goldberg is an American artist whose work bridges painting, digital drawing, and digital mixed media, often incorporating augmented reality as part of his process.

He coined the term Techspressionism in 2011 to describe his use of technology as a vehicle for emotional expression. In 2020, he initiated the formation of the Techspressionist artist group, which has grown to include more than 350 artists across over 45 countries. The movement has expanded through collaborative, networked practice and the widespread use of the hashtag #techspressionism, which has appeared in over 85,000 Instagram posts.

Colin Goldberg is a recipient of grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts. His first solo museum exhibition is scheduled for Summer 2027 at the Cape Cod Museum of Art.  More information on the artist is available on Wikipedia.
