Onomatopee /Krak (on experiment as the key to innovation) shown the experiments in which progressive, cultural innovation is taking shape, step by step informing on this cutting edge chain of production. Krak presented the way in which these types of processes take place; the extraordinary value of the experiment in production and presentation, not in terms of market value but through the production of progressive cultural expressions that expand and unlock new perspectives. It lays bare the contours within which cultural innovation in our material culture is able to exist.

Architect TILMANN MEYER-FAJE did experiments with the prefabricated elements of the Soviet architecture. In this installations he is linking the daily routine to the concrete mass production how the prefabricated flats where build. He reproduces the ornaments as they where stamped on the houses in order to indicate a local identity. He plays with the failure of this machinery. The decorative part proposed to create an identity supposed to become the most exchangeable part of the building and the scribes caused by the frowzy constructors becomes more dominant than the actual design.
