Based in Brooklyn, he became absorbed with 3D art over 25 years. Fascinated by the first primitive flight simulators and CAD programs, he began to build 3D graphics environments, and to write source code. Mr. Klima's work has been exhibited extensively, most notably at Postmasters Gallery, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the New Museum of Contempory Art, the Museum for Communication in Bern, Switzerland, and the NTT InterCommunication Center in Tokyo, Japan. Employing a variety of technologies to produce both hardware and software, Mr. Klima's work connects the virtual to the real, addressing issues of remote responsibility, and bluring the distinctions between the simulated and the concrete.</p> <p class="description"><img src="images/global/horizontal_rule_double.gif" width="332" height="15"></p> <table width="332" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td colspan="3"><p><img src="images/multimedia/klima_installation1.jpg" width="332" height="220"></p> <p class="description">Artist John Klima explains <em>Remote Epilogue (The Great Game)</em> during a guided tour of the exhibition by curator Tom Levin.</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3"><img src="images/global/spacer.gif" alt=" " width="332" height="30"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="156"><img src="images/multimedia/klima_landscape.jpg" width="156" height="117"></td> <td width="20"><img src="images/global/spacer.gif" width="20" height="20"></td> <td width="156" align="left"><p class="description">A screenshot from <em>Remote Epilogue (The Great Game)</em>, 2001-2002 (artist's software, arcade cabinet, kiddie ride, and robotics)</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3"><img src="images/global/spacer.gif" alt=" " width="332" height="30"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><p class="description">A view of the <em>Remote Epilogue </em>arcade cabinet (telerobotically linked to kiddy ride) installed in a Watson Institute stairwell. </p> <p class="description">Insert a coin, start playing, and watch the kiddy ride come to life...</p></td> <td> </td> <td><img src="images/multimedia/klima_installation2.jpg" width="156" height="197"></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3" align="right"><img src="images/global/spacer.gif" alt=" " width="332" height="30"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><p class="description"><img src="images/multimedia/klima_installation3.jpg" width="156" height="104"></p></td> <td> </td> <td><p class="description">A view of the kiddy ride component of <em>Remote Epilogue</em>, installed on the second floor of the Watson Institute</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3" align="right"><img src="images/global/spacer.gif" alt=" " width="332" height="30"></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3"> <p><img src="images/multimedia/klima_installation4.jpg" width="332" height="169"></p> <p class="description">A top view of the kiddy ride component of <em>Remote Epilogue</em></p></td> </tr> </table> <!-- InstanceEndEditable --></td> <td background="images/global/vertical_rule.gif"><img src="images/global/spacer.gif" alt=" " width="20" height="10"></td> <td><table width="156" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td align="right" class="artist_menu"><strong>Curator</strong> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><a href="911plus1.cfm?targetpage=curator" target="_parent" class="artist_menu">Thomas Y.
