The House for Media Art Oldenburg is a space where contemporary media art is exhibited and discussed, like a channel through which information on art, society, and new media flows.
The regularly changing exhibition program presents innovative and experimental positions within international contemporary art. Presentations, artist talks, and workshops promote public discourse on contemporary art and its relationship to the social reality from which it stems.
The House for Media Art supports the realization of several new artistic projects every year, thus contributing to artistic production, experimental collaboration, and critical exchange. We consider these newly commissioned pieces to be important inspirations in shaping the program and overall direction of the institution.
The House for Media Art’s program not only focuses on the ways in which today’s technologies influence the shaping and defining of artistic ideas, but it also celebrates artists who have the vision and power to conceive speculative designs for the future by critically examining the present.
The House for Media Art opened in 2000 under the name Edith-Russ-Haus für Medienkunst. It was directed by Rosanne Altstatt (2001–2004), Sabine Himmelsbach (2005–012), Claudia Giannetti (2013–2014), and Edit Molnár & Marcel Schwierin (2015–present)
