About ZKM
Founded in 1989, the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe stands worldwide for an open concept of art in the digital age. At the ZKM, scientific collection and archive research is intertwined with artistic research on the electronic arts. Through these interdisciplinary connections, we at the ZKM present and produce the evolution of art and media of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Whether exhibitions, symposia, publications, concert programs or digital formats, the ZKM is the platform for the discourse of art and technology with society, science, business and politics in order to examine and better understand the effects of our media and digital world on us humans.
Mecca of Media Arts
As a »Mecca of Media Arts« (Peter Weibel), ZKM does not only deal with the innovations of communication and information technologies and the social change set in motion by them in theory and practice.
In its work, ZKM combines research and production, exhibitions and performances, collections and archives, mediation and events. Through interdisciplinary connections of these fields of work, ZKM as an agile organization can present and produce the development of art and media of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Symposia and other formats of theoretical discourse between art, philosophy, science, technology, business and politics complement the ZKM program to examine the effects of medialization, digitization and globalization on society.
