With the post-poetic The Zoo (2004) and Peripetics (2008), ZEITGUISED initiated a genre that has flourished in the realm of digital art and motion design. geist.xyz (2016) is one of the first natively virtual textile design projects that inspired a new generation of virtual garment designers and has been acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, into their permanent digital collection (2021).

Their work has been shown in galleries and art shows globally, most notably La Gaite Lyrique Paris, Volta Art Fair New York, Museum of Contemporary Art Barcelona, Marta Herford, Vitra Design Museum Weil am Rhein, Somerset House London, Yuz Museum Shanghai and Palazzo Reale Milan.

They have shown in numerous international media festivals like ZKM, Onedotzero, Dotmov, Nemo, ITFS, Resfest and the festivals of Toronto and Ottawa.

ZEITGUISED was nominated for two Media Art Awards at the ZKM Karlsruhe in 2001 and 2002. In 2005 they received the award for Best Music Video at the International Film Festival Oberhausen, and later that year the Best Design Award at Resfest. In 2009 they received Best Experimental at Ottawa International Animation Festival and in 2010 were finalists in the Experimental section of the Vimeo Festival+Awards in NYC. They hold two Laus Awards from 2014 and 2015, and two honourable mentions at Ars Electronica. In 2016 they won Best Experimental and Best VFX, both at Berlin Fashion Film Festival, and Bronze at Ciclope Festival.
