Duration: 23.02–09.02.2022
Event type: Group Show
Curator: Peter Weibel, Margit Rosen
Organizer: ZKM
Venue: ZKM, Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, Germany
Writing The History of the Future marks the 30th anniversary of ZKM Karlsruhe, presenting a comprehensive overview of 20th- and 21st-century media art. The exhibition explores the transformation of artistic practices under the impact of technological change, from photography and sculpture to kinetic, sound, and video art. Within this context, Content Aware Studies interrogates the role of AI and algorithmic processes in reconstructing historical artefacts, offering a speculative lens on how machine learning reshapes our understanding of cultural heritage. The works exemplify the intersection of art, technology, and historical inquiry, reflecting on both human and computational modes of knowledge production.
