Fraunhofer MEVIS STEAM Imaging Residency Culminates in Interactive Exhibition at Edinburgh Science Festival
How can complex physical processes be made visible and tangible? It was this question that British glass artist Gregory Alliss explored last November during the art residency “STEAM Imaging VI.” The residency, hosted by Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Medicine MEVIS in collaboration with the Institute for Design Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, took place at the research institute in Bremen—providing Alliss with the opportunity to integrate science and art in a truly unique way.

The BOX by Fiona Smith is an interactive installation that explores the “black box” aspect of AI technology, posing the question: If we feed AI with incomplete or biased data – can we then expect it to make reasonable suggestions?

Scottish artist, scientist, and physician Fiona Smith visited Fraunhofer MEVIS in Bremen to develop an interactive art installation as part of the “STEAM Imaging V” residency program. With the theme “Holding the ‘Digital’ in Medicine to Account,” participants aim to look beyond the promises of new technological developments and data-driven tools. The goal is also to help prospective students gain a critical understanding of AI-driven applications in the healthcare sector, which increasingly permeates the interaction of all participants in the development process.

During her stay at the artist residency program STEAM Imaging at Fraunhofer MEVIS, media artist Eli Joteva created a remarkable installation: To obtain the material for her digital artwork, the Bulgarian lay down in an MRI scanner for hours. The result: a digital installation called “IntraBeing.“ The starting point of the residency is to bring artists together with scientists and school students to transcend disciplinary boundaries, develop flexible forms of learning and collaboration, and teach skills to use new technologies effectively and critically.
