New Exhibition in September

respektive Peter Weibel

Since the 1960s, Peter Weibel, as artist, curator and artistic director of the ZKM, has been radically questioning current notions of art under the conditions of media change. Starting on September 28, 2019, the exhibition »respektive Peter Weibel« shows an overview of the entire oeuvre of the internationally important media and concept artist.

Digitization in Dialogue

New research project: digilog@bw

The research project digilog@bw explores the three central themes of digitization – autonomy, knowledge and participation. What influence does digitization have on people? What societal changes will emerge? These are the questions that the interdisciplinary research network is investigating.

The photo was taken at night with a drone. It shows the fog sculpture and many silhouettes of visitors of KAMUNA 2019. The cube and the facade of the building are brightly illuminated.
