Mirko Reisser

DAIM (, like the coin dime; born 1971 as Mirko Reisser) is a German graffiti artist who lives and works in Hamburg. He is particularly known for his large-size, 3D-style graffiti works. This has become known as his trademark. For his technically sophisticated style he obtained the reputation of being one of the best graffiti artists in the world.

==Works== In 1989, Reisser created his first works, still under the name CAZA in those days, which he kept until 1992. He began doing commissioned pieces in 1990. In 1991, right after he graduated from secondary school, Reisser began to work as a freelance artist and renamed himself DAIM. In 1996, he began taking the fine arts program at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Switzerland. In 1999, Reisser founded the studio collaboration getting-up in Hamburg together with artists Gerrit Peters and Heiko Zahlmann. The artist collective has been realizing internationally noticed projects together for more than fifteen years. During his artistic career, Reisser has travelled to many parts of the world and taken part in a multitude of museum and gallery exhibitions. He has also given birth to many art projects, several of them as an initiator and co-organizer.
