Digital Art on the RAW site
The RAW site in Berlin-Friedrichshain was built in 1867 as the Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk (RAW) and was once used for train maintenance. After its closure in the 1990s, the site developed into a pulsating centre for art, culture and alternative projects. The Lighthouse of Digital Art fits perfectly into this popular cultural area and has been using state-of-the-art projection technology to create immersive digital art experiences since its opening.
