We are Family! 2010
Family Day at ZKM
Sun, October 03, 2010 11 am CEST, Festival
This year’s Family Day is entirely devoted to the theme of technology and communication. In addition to the ZKM | museums, numerous other side shows provide insights and information on contemporary art, as well as on contemporary themes in science and research.
This year marks the 100th birthday of the pioneer of information technology Konrad Zuse. In collaboration with the faculty of computer science of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technologie (KIT), the ZKM has chosen the occasion of this anniversary to highlight fascinating information technology by an exhibition and a series of accompanying lectures. These events focus on the usefulness of computer technology in everyday life. Further to the events for adults, two lectures from the KIT Children’s Uni program have been planned.
Literary events will be held in the recently extended spaces in the ZKM_Library: ZKM staff will read from works both by and on Konrad Zuse. Space and time to realize one’s own creative ideas has now been made possible by the newly opened Media Workshop of the
ZKM | Museum Communication. In the workshops old and young have the opportunity to try out the workshop’s various image and sound processing programs throughout the day, and may ask staff at Museum Communication any questions relating to the content of the lectures and workshops. In addition to be able to shoot a short film in the cartoon set, participants are given the opportunity to construct and program Lego Mindstorm NXT robots. The Karlsruhe puppet theater “marotte” invites all children from the age of four upwards to the ZKM_Media Theater: in the exciting world of pirates, the exploits of Captain Knitterbart and his crew can be followed in their search of Red Bill’s gold. Short improvised interventions with AKZENT- Improvisationstheater [Theater of Improvisation] – the youth club of the Baden State Theater – and Tanztheater Gabriela Lang [The Gabriela Lang Dance Theater] will take place as little surprises in the ZKM | Museums. Whoever wishes to make his or her own contribution to this work of art may either add a new composition to the light installation CHROMA_PAINT, by media artist rosalie at the ZKM_Foyer, or visit Wetterstation 2030 [Weather Station 2030] by performance artist Gabriele Sturm at the ZKM_Media Library. In Felix Groß’s Portrait_Atelier, located in the HfG atrium, one may watch the Karlsruhe photographer while at work, and have one’s own or family portrait taken. One may explore current ZKM exhibitions either alone, be visited by joining one of the guided tours or be examined by way of questions in the museum journey of discovery. During their ramble through the museums children and youth are invited to take a break in the lounge ot the atrium 4 with students of the HfG, to view student’s video work, to talk about art and enjoy lemonade and pretzels.
Duration 30 min. Free tickets for the events in the ZKM_Media Theater may be obtained at the Information Desk.
