Biography New Media Artist Micha Klein




Micha Klein graduated in 1989 at the Rietveld Academy in
Amsterdam as the first artist to receive a BA in computer-graphics.

Since 1989 Klein, as a fine artist, held exhibitions in galleries and
museums worldwide of monumental photo-panels utilizing diverse
digital techniques and styles. His digital "paintings" draw attention with
their bright colors and smooth surfaces, but show underneath, a unique
world with references to art history and pop culture.

In 1998 the Groninger Museum honored Micha Klein with a
retrospective of 10 years of his digital art and video.

After that, shows followed in London, Tokyo, Milan and San Francisco.
In 2000 a show at the prestigious Mary Boone Gallery in New York started
his career in the United States. Rapper Eminem went on tour using Klein's
notorious character "Pillman" in specially made background projections.

Klein's work is in the collection of the following museums: Groninger Museum,
Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Amsterdam Historical Museum, LACMA Los Angeles,
Denver Art Museum, and in various corporate and private collections.

Micha Klein has been at the front of the VJ movement since 1988,
when he introduced "VideoDrugs" at warehouse parties, pioneering
live VJ'ing as we now know it. He brought the concept to Ibiza in '97
with a residency in Pacha, and has done gigs all over the world -
from WMF (Berlin) to Twilo (New York).

In the Netherlands he has won the LSDA "Best VJ Award" for 2 years
in a row - and the Gouden Kabouter "Best VJ" for 3 years in a row -
both of these prizes are awarded by the Dutch audience.
Micha will be launching his own VJ software, called 'Videoflux' this year.

Currently in 2003 Klein's work is included in several international museum shows,
and he is showing his new body of work called 'Icons ,Idols, and Fetishes.

Micha has designed a Swatch artist-watch, and last January his first Coca-Cola
commercial aired 400 times in the Netherlands, and is now being used by more
countries worldwide.

it might be outdated, but it's still good work. don't bash it unless you're ready to provide a link for something better that you made.

Micha Klein was funny in the mid '90's within the rave period.

But he never grew over it, I think he's quite an overrated one trick pony. And his website is HORRIBLE! Micha, if you read this, fix your website, it looks terribly outdated.
