Monumental light installations, media projections on building facades and streets, artistic interventions, and experimental events will transform Karlsruhe during the Seasons of Media Arts into a stage for innovative, cooperative, and networked media art.
As part of Seasons of Media Arts, various media-based art projects distributed around Karlsruhe city have been on display since September of last year. The works Obsolete Presence by Aram Bartholl, Light Signs by Betty Rieckmann, Vortext by Michael Bielicky, and the PhonoLuxMaschine by Didi Müller, Marc Teuscher, and Holger Förterer can be seen until March 31. Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, not all of the planned artworks and events curated by ZKM | Karlsruhe and the Kulturamt Karlsruhe and supported by the municipal UNESCO project funding program for media arts could be exhibited during the run of Seasons of Media Arts. These include ACCESS by Marie Sester, Saving Water by PONG.Li Studios, The Silent Chaos of Colors by Eva Judkins and Holger Förterer, and Our City by Marco Zampella and Alexander Liebrich. The presentation of these works and events will be rescheduled for a later date.
