ZKM Exhibitions 2019

01.01.2019 - 31.12.2019

Exhibition view »Open Codes. Living in Digital Worlds«

In 2019 the ZKM celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2019 with numerous events and exhibitions. With »Writing the History of the Future«, the ZKM is presenting his extensive collection as one highlight. The exhibition takes up the major themes that the ZKM has dealt with over the past 30 years: artistic and social change against the background of digitization.

In order to combine this historical perspective with the current education policy experiment »Open Codes«, the exhibition »Open Codes« will be extended until the second of June 2019. Part I of »Writing the History of the Future« will open on the first floor, in the immediate vicinity, from 23th of February. Thus it will be possible to draw a line between »living in digital worlds« and the history of electronic and digital art, between exhibition and collection practice, which have been following common lines for 30 years.
