During the evolving discussion some of the scientists went spontaneously to the blackboard explaining their work using chalk to make drawings. The artist was astonished at the application of this obsolete medium instead of digital visualisation in times when our daily life is highly based on technology.

Subsequently, Katrin von Lehmann took her starting point in photographs of these blackboard drawings. During her working process she manipulated these photographs by placing herself in a field of tension between systematic approach and intuitive decision making.

The outcome of this is  4 series of work entitled Blackboard Drawings #1 to #4 which are brought back to be shown at the institute.
