Marc Schütze

Marc Schütze has worked in museum and exhibition technology at ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe since 2015. He studied media technology at Offenburg University of Applied Sciences. His work focuses on the technical conservation of digital art and building infrastructure for large-scale exhibitions. For the exhibition "Choose Your Filter! 30 Years of Browser Art" (2025), he restored numerous browser art works from the 1990s to 2020s previously considered lost, including "Eden.Garden" by Entropy8Zuper! (Auriea Harvey & Michaël Samyn), which was presented at Rhizome World NYC. This work was carried out in collaboration with a KIT research project on browser art conservation.

At ZKM, he has contributed to the technical realization of exhibitions including "Writing the History of the Future" (2019, 6000 sqm, 500+ objects), "Renaissance 3.0" (2023), and "Open Codes" (2017–2019), and supported the international touring exhibition "Games and Politics" across 20+ venues worldwide. He developed a LiDAR-based visitor tracking system that scaled from a single-sensor prototype to a 53-sensor installation covering 1400 sqm. He presented this work together with Bernd Lintermann at the Digital Museum Conference 2024 at the Belvedere Vienna. Marc Schütze publishes open-source software for museum operations, including tools for LiDAR visitor tracking, exhibition VM management, and DNS filtering.
