Location: Media Theater

As part of the exhibition »Art in Motion«, the ZKM is organizing an Open University Symposium. The symposium takes the theme of the exhibition – the history of the development of media art – as a starting point for discussing the future of media arts in the age of digitization.

What effects do the current technological developments of digitalization have on media art institutions? How can these challenges be addressed? What new approaches are there to speak of a global media art that undermines a Western dominated art canon? What new developments in digital media art can be observed recently, and what effects do these innovations have on our society?

The symposium will be followed by a guided tour of the exhibition by the curators.

Please note: The symposium will be held in English.
