The idea of the group is to realize the synthesis of the different arts using today´s multimedia technologies and creat new projects based on this intention.


Karoline HofmannKaroline Hofmann
computer animation

born 1967 in Schweinfurt, Germany, began taking violin lessons at the age of eleven. Four years later she switched to the viola, at the same time adding piano lessons.
   After completing high-school, she studied viola at the Music School in Würzburg with Prof. Anton Weigert. She continued her studies at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg with Prof. Peter Langgartner, graduating with honors.
   Karoline Hofmann's initial work on a computer animation of Vassily Kandinsky's Pictures at an Exhibition took place as part of her Master's Thesis at the Mozarteum. Presently, in addition to her work as a freelance violist, she is responsible for the artistic realization of multimedia projects in the group BILDKLANG, and is engaged in developing websites.

Martin HofmannMartin Hofmann
technical implementation

was born 1964 in Schweinfurt, Germany. Already at the age of 15 he had begun working with computers and computer programming, and has been a freelance programmer ever since. After high-school he completed studies in computer science and mathematics at Würzburg University.
   Martin Hofmann works as a self-employed software-developer, IT-consultant as well as being a systems and network manager (www.hofmann-software.de). Numerous projects have brought him extensive knowledge in various fields as well as international experience within Europe and in Brazil, Latvia, Russia, and South Korea.
   Today, Martin Hofmann lives with his wife, Karoline, in Neustadt a.d. Aisch (Germany) and in Salzburg (Austria). As a result of his technically oriented profession and his interest in music and art, a wish arose to combine these supposedly separate worlds: the idea of BILDKLANG was born.
