A collaboration between ZKM and the Fraunhofer Institute for Media Communication
in the context of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research’s »Science
Year 2006«
Opening Fri 12 May 2006, 7 p.m. in the ZKM_Foyer
[=> Information auf Deutsch]
A leading project of the Science Year at ZKM
The goal of »Kunst Computer Werke« is to center attention on information
science as a medium and means of design for computer-based media art. ZKM and
the Hochschule für Gestaltung (HfG), thereby function as hosts for Science
Year 2006’s most important events in the context of art and information
science.

informARTics
The heart of the event »Kunst-Computer-Werke« is the art exhibition
informARTics in the ZKM foyer and HfG atriums. The cross-section of current
German productions presented in the exhibition reveals works that fascinate
not only through their demonstration of technological possibilities, but also
enable novel experiences of sense and perception. Exhibition visitors can, for
example, make sounds with water in Fabian Winkler’s »Waves«,
or experience a baptism by fire in Holger Förterer’s »Inflammable«,
or by means of the air one breaths, breath a poem from the verse factory in
»Odem Mode,« and become an active witness to global energy transformation
in the supreme particles’ »R 111«. Additionally, the HfG will
present the “best-of” their current information-based art projects.
An extensive accompanying program also offers insight into contemporary orientations
and positions of computer-based art. The awards ceremony for the »digital
sparks« competition sponsored by the Fraunhofer Institute will also take
place in the context of the event.
