The HEK (Haus der Elektronischen Künste) in Basel is dedicated to digital culture and the new art forms of the information age.
Since 2011, creative and critical discourses on the aesthetic, socio-political and economic effects of media technologies have been taking place at this venue.
The HEK presents contemporary art that explores and shapes new technologies; it promotes an aesthetic practice that uses information technologies as a medium, visualises them and actively intervenes in their processes.
In this way, the HEK addresses the pressing questions of 21st century culture and actively contributes to its transmission.
