Germany’s first UNESCO City of Media Arts
Media art is universal – it stands for social and technological innovation, for creativity, connectivity, interdisciplinarity, and brings art and science together in manifold ways.
Unbelievable: UNESCO City of Media Arts
In Karlsruhe, you can experience art of all genres like nowhere else: be it Southern Germany’s biggest screen at the SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE Light Art Festival, the ZKM | Center for Art and Media as the 4th most important art museum in the world, or interactive media installations in the heart of the city. Throughout the year, the boundaries between videography, painting, programming, dance and audio become blurred – not only behind the scenes, but in participatory exhibitions, urban events and much more.
