john klima

John Klima, a photography major from SUNY Purchase, created "Glasbead." "Glasbead" is an interface that "exemplifies the convergent nature of new media art." It is an interactive online artwork and can be found here. Klima was inspired to create this piece by Herman Hesse and his novel entitled "The Glass Bead Game." Klima's work is considered to be interdisciplinary in that he employs techniques learned from being a software designer as well as attending art school, but also that he incorporates literature into the meaning of his work. Having all of those influences allows for his work to be multi-dimensional in a way that can often be true of new media artists.
