History
The term Techspressionism was coined by artist Colin Goldberg in 2011 to describe his "intersection of technology and abstraction". It was used for the first as the title of a solo exhibition of Goldberg's artistic creations at the 4 North Main Gallery in Southampton, New York.

In 2014, Techspressionism was upgraded to a movement. The initial version of the movement's manifesto included a revised definition of the term techspressionism, a combination of the oxford dictionary definitions of expressionism and technology. "A new art form that uses technology as a means of expressing emotional experience rather than impressions from the outside world.”

The relationship between Techspressionism and Japanese aesthetics was explored by artist and writer Eric Ernst, grandson of surrealist painter Max Ernst and son of abstract expressionist artist Jimmy Ernst.

In 2015, Techspressionism got its first TV coverage in a PBS interview conducted with Goldberg during an artist residency at Key West Studios.

The artist Oz Van Rosen in 2018 used the term Techspressionism for the first time in conjunction with glitch art to describe his work. In this interview published in Beyond Photography, as well as subsequent exhibition reviews and articles. She used the term independently of Goldberg and defined it differently, linking it more specifically to digitally manipulated photography.

Goldberg will later present Techspressionism to a live audience at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill, New York in 2019.
