About

Persons from various disciplines ranging from design through to media art, politics, media studies and culture management studies present their respective approaches. Furthermore, creative artists also have their say and give insights from their everyday lives in the media. They present their Best Practice examples which constitute the net culture. In addition to lectures, there is also space for dialogue. All projects can be tested in front of the ZKM_Media Theater and can be discussed with the speakers. The lectures are held in German and English.

Background

The Web culture – the culture of the Internet – is our present. It established itself with the development of the World Wide Web at the beginning of the 1990s, and has since spread across the globe. It is in perpetual movement, and each day new symbols and practices emerge. With the Smartphone we are permanently on the move online, whether at home, in front of the computer or when out and about. The Internet has become so much part of our everyday life that it is no longer possible, or rather necessary, to make a clear distinction between online and offline action.
