Through a narrative, the participants learn about the positive
properties of chitosan and how to treat this material. They

HEKA

is a laboratory at the intersection of science, art and the economy
based on the concept of so-called »citizen science«. 

It is a platform of networking and cooperation between different
stakeholders, establishing a dialogue between society and science
using art and artistic thinking. The primary starting point of HEKA
is the introduction of empathic curiosity and compassion, which is
characteristic of art, into scientific methods of research. The guiding
principle is the awareness that technology, art and the economy
always impact an individual and society. Therefore, we want to bring
these areas closer to individuals in harmony. 

Working thematic areas: 
- Researching the human impacts on the marine ecosystem.
- Researching spatial sound reproduction.
- Researching biomaterials
