Apart from Roman Kroke’s personal installation, the exhibition also presented the hybrid creations of his students of the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) and the Technical University of Berlin (TU). These works originated from an interdisciplinary seminar which Kroke led as part of his one-year lectureship at the UdK (2018), in partnership with 13 scientific institutes.
