A playful digital art project in public space, developed by an interdisciplinary team around game designer Sebastian Quack.

After equally delighting inhabitants, art enthusiasts and passers-by during the month of August in 2019, Canadian artist Terence Koh’s Bee Chapel HafenCity moved from the Störtebeker Ufer to the rooftop of the Ecumenical Forum HafenCity. After recovering in a protected place during wintertime, the bees returned back to the Bee Chapel on the roof of the Ecumenical Forum on May 18, where the installation is open again for visitors. 

At the intersection of city, art and digitisation, the joint project is developing a mobile digital application that brings together mediation, artistic and curated formats. Open Worlds is a cooperation with the Museum of Contemporary Art Siegen, the Kestner Gesellschaft in Hanover and the museum Marta Herford. It is funded by the Digital Fund of the Kulturstiftung des Bundes in the Digital Culture programme.

Uncovering the Unknown - Kapwani Kiwanga's new project aims at highlighting exemplary elements that structure public space but often go unnoticed by the very people who use them. Working with the means of colour, light or other temporary interventions in the urban infrastructure, the Canadian artist develops a site-specific installation that deals with the quay walls between the historical centre, Speicherstadt and Hafencity.
