Carl Diehl’s independent and collaboratively produced moving image artworks and performances have exhibited widely, at venues including: The International Symposium of Electronic Art, The Schneider Museum, Transmediale, Shapeshifters Cinema, and the Wooden Octopus Skull Experimental Musick Festival . In 2022, Diehl published "Misdirections: A Serio-Comic Catalogue of Details, Detours, & Derivations from the Life of the Magician, Vaudevillian, and Comedy Emcee, Werner “Dorny” Dornfield. He has since adapted "Misdirections" into a live cinema performance lecture, and a series of documentary shorts derived from this research.
