Miroslav Klivar is a visual artist based in Prague whose work lies at the intersection of poetry, body art / performance and video art. He has used the computer to produce the first plotter drawings since 1965 and bought his personal computer in 1968 to create independent graphics and design. Since 1969 he has conducted basic research and design at the Institute of Industrial Design in Prague. In August 1968, he organised the second international exhibition of computer art in the Czech Republic at the Film Club in Prague featuring Georg Nees, Frieder Nake, and Kerry Strand.

His graphics are categorised by mainly geometric structures in a monochrome or complementary colour. He works with the principle of chance – lines, ellipses or other geometric forms are transformed, enlarged, turned and rotated. He used his computer graphics design work to decorate ceramics and textiles.

His body art activities began in 1972 as a protest against the occupation of Czechoslovakia by the army of the then still existing Soviet Union and its Allies. He has also been involved with Mail Art and Postal Art in the late 1970’s.

He is the president of the European Union of arts and a member of the Czech-German Cultural Alliance.
