Museum & Exhibition Technology

ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe

I make digital art work in exhibitions: old browser art, complex installations and international touring shows. If it has to run reliably in a museum, that is my job.

Background

Since 2015 I have worked in the technical department at ZKM. ZKM is often called the 'digital Bauhaus' and was one of the world's first institutions dedicated to media art. My job is to make sure digital art works when people come to see it.

That ranges from getting browser art from the 1990s running again to the infrastructure for international touring exhibitions. Sometimes it is LiDAR sensors, sometimes it is a Raspberry Pi with a script that presses buttons every hour. Whatever works.
