The Minus 60° project by the German visual artist Karl Kliem is a surround sound installation with synchronised fluorescent bulbs. The bulbs, together with 6 loudspeakers, form a spatial layout that allows the visitor to experience the acoustic and visual effects of electricity. 

In 2010, the Minus 60° installation was listed on the program of the Frankfurt Luminal and was also a part of the exhibition series Words and Sound, curated by Hortese Pisano and Buket Altinoba. This year, the installation and its author were included in the Nova Contemporary Culture in Rio de Janeiro.
