During this virtual opening, curators Peter Weibel and Bruno Latour will present the scientific background and philosophy of the Critical Zone Concept, the international scientists who shaped it, and the artists who engaged with it (Donna Haraway, Joseph Koerner, Lynn Margulis and Adam G. Riess, among others).
Over the weekend, ZKM’s website and YouTube channel will broadcast live lectures, films, theater performances, guided tours, talks, workshops and lively panel discussions.
