Artistic Production - Hertzlab
The Hertzlab offers artists of all genres - from fine arts to music - the opportunity to try out a wide variety of technologies in collaboration with scientists and technical developers. In addition to artistic production, the ZKM has also been involved in the development of technologies for the digital mediation of art for decades.
Humanities Projects
For its exhibitions and publications, the ZKM makes great efforts not only to present well-known knowledge, but also to point out new facts and connections through fundamental research.
Preservation of electronic and digital art
