The department

Develop your artistic practice

Digitale Kunst is an open platform for experimental artistic practice with and around digital media.

We work across art, technology, research and society: with images, sound, code, machines, networks, bodies, spaces and whatever does not have a name yet.

We value collaboration, communication, divergence, risk-taking and openness. You do not need to arrive as a finished artist or technical expert. We want to understand how you think, what you notice and what you insist on.
