Karl Kliem

[DE]

German artist Karl Kliem creates minimalist light and sound installations and visual environments for live performance. Working primarily with neon and LEDs to visualize sound, Kliem (who also operates under the alias Dienststelle) has been enlisted to produce visual elements for a veritable who's who of experimental producers, including Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto, Jan Jelinek, Thomas Köner, Mouse on Mars, and Sleeparchive.

Kliem completed his degree training at the Offenbach University of Art and Design and currently lives and works in Frankfurt am Main, where he teaches media design at art colleges. He is a founding member of Involving Systems (interactive audio and video installations) and MESO (Digital Media Systems).
