From 2019 to 2021, the Seasons of Media Arts festival presented digital, interactive, and virtual art in public spaces, transforming the city of Karlsruhe into a stage for innovative, collaborative, and networked media art which is open to all. This urban media art festival addressed issues of a global nature such as the climate crisis, technological change, or democracy in the age of social media.
The festival was a collaboration between the City of Karlsruhe’s Department of Cultural Affairs and the ZKM Center for Art and Media and was aimed at anyone interested in media art, digital culture, and beyond. The presentation of media art in the urban space is one of the most important measures as a UNESCO Creative City of Media Arts.
