By using photographs of discarded objects that reflect generational memories I find the intangible connection in tangible objects that creates a fertile garden where the complex assemblage of meaning is. Known as an experiment artist it was a natural evolution of my artistic process to investigate digital technology. In 1980 I add it to the mixed media processes I used to create my art. After 1994, digital tools became a major part of my studio."

"I am a collage-maker by nature who has worked with reprographic machines and computers since the late 1960ís. I embed archetypal symbols and fragments of image and text in multiple layers, combining the humblest of materials with the latest in technology to evoke the past and herald the future." Karin Schminke: MFA University of Iowa, MA University of Iowa Karin Schminke began integrating digital technologies into her mixed media fine art over 20 years ago. As a member of the Digital Atelier© she is a pioneer and educator in this developing field and exhibits widely. February 2002  "Midwest Computer Art Exhibition", John Weatherhead Gallery, University of Saint Francis, Fort Wayne IN (invitational) "Digital tools allow me to bring together a wide array of digital and non digital media. It opens up the palette of media and invites interaction between those media in many unprecedented ways. There is a sense of exploration that infuses digital tools, encouraging risks and experimentation." http://www.digitalatelier.com
