CV
PICS
Hardly any other name in pop music is as synonymous with electronic sound as that of Karl Bartos. Originally a classically trained percussionist and keyboarder, he later became a composing member of the legendary German group Kraftwerk.
He took part in creating some of modern music's most influential classics like: "Radio-Activity", "Trans Europe Express", "The Man Machine", "Computer World", "Tour de France", "Techno Pop" and "The Mix"; thus, altering our perception of sound.
By using film and video, even before the arrival of MTV and it's subsequent transformation of the music business, Kraftwerk had a great influence on forming the language of contemporary art, especially media art.
Bartos' contribution to the music of the elctronic pioneers is substantiel, and he has played a significant role in the group's success. His consistent exploration of electronic sound has, without doubt, had a major impact on the way modern music has evolved, and has distinguished him as a cultural maverick.

None of the photographs are constructed wholly from incident or narrative.

Barto's images of Long Island from 2007-2010 have been printed using a four-color carbon transfer process that, with its tonal range and description of fine detail, emphasizes Bartos’ subtle color palette and formal compositions.
From 2011-2013 Bartos visited local speedways in rural New York, Florida and New Mexico where drivers race
