UDK.AI


UDK.AI is a community of practice at the Berlin University of the Arts — and, underneath, a single living knowledge graph (built with our own tool, Kastalia KMS) that already holds courses, presentations, guidelines and research most visitors never see.

This page exists to show a little more of it. Below: a sample of what's actually in there — click through, it's all real and all live.
