SchulzZimm

SchulzZimm is a multidisciplinary artistic collaboration between two practitioners who work under the surnames Schulz and Zimm. The duo focuses on installation, sculpture, and digital media, merging analogue making with computational processes to examine relationships between memory, space, and perception. Based in Berlin, SchulzZimm produces site-responsive works for galleries, museums, and public contexts and has exhibited internationally.

Formation and practice: SchulzZimm emerged in the early 2010s from a shared studio practice that evolved into a joint collaborative method. Their approach emphasizes modular systems, participatory elements, and responsive technologies. Projects commonly incorporate sensors, generative software, and hand-crafted components to create environments where visitors can influence the outcome of the work.

Mediums and methods: The practice bridges physical fabrication and digital design. Works often combine ceramics, metal, wood, or fabric with light, sound, and interactive electronics. The resulting installations are typically designed to be reconfigured for different sites, highlighting themes of adaptability, temporality, and the negotiation of public space.

Reception: Critics and curators describe SchulzZimm’s work as conceptually rigorous and accessible, noting a clear thread linking material craft with contemporary media. The works are recognized for their precise execution and for inviting active viewer engagement without relinquishing formal clarity.

Influence and activities: In addition to exhibitions, SchulzZimm engages in collaborations with educational and cultural institutions, offering workshops and residencies focused on design thinking, interactive media, and the integration of craft with digital processes.
