Conversations on Art and Media is a new lecture series with invited guests from the expanded fields of media art and theory, co-organized by members of HfG Karlsruhe and ZKM. During summer semester 2025, the series discusses unconventional conceptions and materializations of computers as well as alternative ways of dealing with them. In the light of the quasi-monopoly of big tech companies and in view of powerful presets and standards, guest lectures and conversations will address the questions: To what extent can computers look or function differently? In which ways can we reflect on, perceive or handle computing devices differently or change them?

Concept: Victor Fancelli Capdevila (HfG), Julia Ihls (HfG), Tina Lorenz (ZKM), Lea Luka Sikau (ZKM), Nina Zschocke (HfG).

More info on the talk will follow soon.
