David Karam is a partner and founder of Post Tool Design. He has created interactive media and installations for various commercial and cultural institutions including Apple Computers, the Getty Center, Warner Brothers Records, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Body Shop, and Swatch.
In 2001, Post Tool was awarded the SECA for graphic design from San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The studio's work is in the collection of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. Post Tool exhibited in the 2004 "Blobjects and Beyond: The New Fluidity in Design" show at the San Jose Museum of Art.
David has been in the graphic design department at the California College of the Arts since 1994. There he has advised the Thesis class as well as developed and taught many conceptual and practical computer oriented classes. He is a faculty member of the Transmedia program at St. Lukas in Brussels; a post graduate program that emphasizes a relationship between technology and cross-disciplinary art practice. There he has worked with students to develop 3D text based installation to motion triggered hair burning machines.
At the tender age of 15, David published the interactive, illustrated, soundtracked fiction, "To Preserve Quandic". He hopes some day to achieve a comparable work.
