Karl Cleveland is an artist and educator working in web and interactive media. He is currently finishing his Master of Fine Arts degree in Art at San Diego State University, specializing in Multimedia. He previously earned a Master of Arts in Communication with an emphasis in Mass Communication and Media Studies from SDSU and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California at San Diego.

Karl has been a professional web and interactive media designer for over a decade and established his own web design business in 1998. He has extensive experience in all phases of web and multimedia development, from concept and strategy formation through design, programming, and production. His professional background also includes four years writing and designing marketing communications for UCLA.

In his artistic practice, Karl is attracted to things that blur the line between creative disciplines, between art and technology, and between physical and mediated experience. His research interests address issues related to mass media and consumer culture, including media ownership and diversity, the gate-keeping and agenda-setting functions of media, and how media function as forces of social and cultural production.

Karl has been teaching computer graphics, digital media, web design, and multimedia classes since 2000. He previously taught at San Diego City College and San Diego State University prior to joining the faculty at MiraCosta in 2006.

When not in front of a computer or the classroom, Karl enjoys scuba diving, kayaking, mountain biking, golf, movies and theatre.
