The Berlin University of the Arts
The Berlin University of the Arts (UdK Berlin) is one of Europe’s most versatile and multifaceted art universities, bringing together more than 30 programs of study in artistic disciplines and related scholarly fields in a single institution. The current situation is characterized by highly diverse initiatives aimed at yielding the synergetic benefits of interdisciplinary networking.
In response to an invitation from HyperWerk Basel, four programs in the Department of Design are working jointly within the framework of an interdisciplinary project to produce their contributions to acar2 and to explore the neoanalog theme. Participants are from product & process design, fashion design, visual communication and experimental media design.
