ZKM, the Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, “holds a unique position in the world. It responds to the rapid developments in information technology and today’s changing social structures. Its work combines production and research, exhibitions and events, coordination and documentation…for the development of interdisciplinary projects and promotion of international collaborations. Under the direction of Prof. Peter Weibel since 1999, the Center for Art and Media probes new media in theory and practice, tests their potential with in-house developments, presents possible uses in exemplary form and promotes debate on the form our information society is taking. The Center for Art and Media provides a forum for science, art, politics and finance. The Center is a platform for experimentation and discussion, with a mission to participate actively in working towards the future and engage in the ongoing debate about the sensible and meaningful use of technology.” more information can be found in this article from the goethe-institut
