HEK
HEK (House of Electronic Arts) in Basel is dedicated to digital culture and the new art forms of the information age. Since 2011, the institution has been central to the creative and critical discourse on the aesthetic, socio-political and economic effects of media technologies. As a platform for contemporary art that explores and employs new technologies, HEK promotes aesthetic practices related to information technologies. This not only enables a better comprehension of the changing world we live in, but also serves to actively engage with these processes and confront pressing questions of 21st century culture, while actively contributing to their mediation. (2024)
As sole successor to plug.in Art & New Media and Shift–Electronic Arts Festiva, HEK officially opened on 27 May 2011.
