Moments from Khroma - New Media Art Center

Khroma opened in Berlin as Germany's first dedicated new media art center, a space built specifically around immersive, technology-driven installation work, projection, sound, and interactive digital environments, rather than the static painting and sculpture that most traditional museums are built to house. It positions itself deliberately at the intersection of art and technology, a category that has exploded in popularity worldwide over the past decade but that very few purpose-built institutions, as opposed to temporary pop-up exhibitions, have committed to permanently.

Because the work here is built around technology and immersion rather than objects on a wall, plan for a physically different kind of visit than a conventional museum, expect to walk through darkened rooms, sit or lie down in projection spaces, and spend considerably longer with individual pieces than you would in front of a painting. Check ahead for any age or accessibility guidance on specific installations, immersive light and sound work occasionally comes with sensory warnings that traditional galleries rarely need to post.
