Karl Kliem

Karl Kliem:



Karl Kliem aka Dienststelle is well known for his music installations, where sound and light are connected to create very minimalist environments. I really liked his monochromatic works where he used neons and leds to visualize the sound. He has collaboreted with many different artists such as Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto as well as Jan Jelinek, Jan St. Werner of Mouse on Mars, Thomas Brinkmann, Thomas Köner and Sleeparchive.

Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto - Ax Mr. L


Visualisation for the Insen Tour of Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto in 2005 and 2006. This one i did within an hour when i had access to the complete LED screen for the first time. The tour had already started. When you would display just one colour on the whole screen you could see the edges of each LED module. So i just used these edges for the display of the lines. Each stroke of a key on Sakamotos Yamaha Disklavier would send out a MIDI signal that would call a random preset of predefined patterns on the screen.


Burial - Prayer

Realtime visualization of Prayer by Burial with one of my Rasterdecks - a grid ceiling element with four fluorescent tubes.


Minus 60°


Surround sound installation with synchronized florescent tubes. Six speakers on tripods. One fluorescent tube attached to each tripod. The video shows a short excerpt of the first setup at Hafen2 in Offenbach near Frankfurt as part of the Luminale 2010 and part of the exhibition series "Words & Sounds" curated by Hortense Pisano.


Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto - Trioon I


Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto - Trioon I from Karl Kliem on Vimeo.

The main elements of the music, piano and sine waves, are represented by two elements. Abstract keys fade away like the piano sounds fade out of your mind. Horizontal stripes display the sine waves frequencies with their vertical position.






XYZT, Les paysages abstraits

XYZT, Les paysages abstraits:



X (horizontal), Y (vertical), Z (depth), T (time). Four letters to describe the motion of a point in the space, and think about an imaginary environment. Mathematical paradoxes, mesmerizing typographies and moving landscapes, all this at this exhibition called "XYZT, Les paysages abstraits" (XYZT The abstract landscapes). Surveying of the digital space, finger algorithms, fields of light... a lot of imaginary territories to explore. A coincidence between geometric and organic, between real and virtual. This is an awesome installation and interactive project created by Adrien M / Claire B and Martin Gautron. See more;

Work from Out of Space @ Polyforum Siqueiros.

“The artist draws on current expectations, general paralysis, creativity and inspiration from which a great instinct for transforming the contemporary melancholy humor singular, that is neither cynical nor just absurd. A job that tends to capture the indeterminate, an aesthetic that seeks ambiguity in games of tension between the mental and physical, between reality and artifice, and hermetic readability, lucidity and innocence. His affinity with lavish photography coherence to its research around the concepts of objectivity and whether or not to capture reality. His work, particularly its celestial and stellar photographs, are an indication of a sincere dialogue and perceptive to the intangible.” – Sebastien Verdon translated via google

Richard Wilson:

Richard Wilson's sculptures alter the space or objects, as we know it and so encourage us to rethink our attitude and our perspective on things. In his work mostly large surfaces, objects, walls, whole house or houses are involved.His large-scale works give the genre of 'sculpture' new dimensions. He turns,turns, cuts, fills, empties, or discolored, his objects. Since his work of art '20: 50 '(1987) - which consists of a waist-up with motor oil filled chamber and is on permanent display in London - Wilson is one of the leading British artists of his generation. Since 1976, the 58 year old artist had 50 exhibitions around the world and was awarded an honorary doctorate from the 'University of East London'.

Russian biologist Alexander Semenov graduated in 2007 from Moscow State University’s zoology department where he studied invertebrate animals. Specifically: squid brains. Now he works as the chief of his diving team at the White Sea Biological Station, camera always in-hand, where he’s captured some of these extraordinary photographs of jellyfish and other wildlife. You can see more images in his photo galleries or you can follow him on Flickr. (via lost at e minor)

Work from Konstruktion von Bewegung (Construction of Movement)

“On the actions and perceptions of people in an equilibrium system

Denotes the equilibrium state, the balance in the forces acting on a system with each other. This state remains stable as long as he is not disturbed by external influences. The concept of balance can be applied to different systems – for example, physical, political, political, economic, social and environmental. Man can because of his understanding of system relationships in the direct- acting weight. Its scope is not unlimited: Has a system located in an unstable equilibrium state too far from its rest position, it is only possible with considerable effort to restore this state. Based on the present and anticipate, Piert climatic events, the work deals with the action and the perception of people in an unstable equilibrium system.” – André Hemstedt Tine & Reimer, Thesis (translated via Google)
