Flesh and Voxel: Making Sense of Medical Images | UCLA

Design and realization of a workshop and talk: "Flesh and Voxel: Making Sense of Medical Images | STEM TO STEAM." Talk about the potential of connecting scientific expertise and artistic creativity to mold the future. With the pilot artist-in-residence project called STEAM Imaging, I designed for Fraunhofer MEVIS, the scientific disciplines were departed beyond knowledge silos, and not only an artistic approach but also school students were integrated. I see involving the you

Workshop: Science + Art = The Next Generation of Researchers?

Delighted to give a workshop with the mathematician Sabrina Haase at the intersection of art, science, technology, media, and entertainment at the Raw Science Film Festival. We exhibited the steps of our journey from STEM to STEAM workshops and provided a demo of ”Inside Insight,” an interactive web tool for a practical introduction into creative mathematics, physics, and computer science, with a focus on enhancing medical data artistically. We are preparing ”Inside Insight

Poster at The Workshop AESTHETICS get SYNTHETIC: Knowledge Link Through Art & Science

This workshop was an opportunity to bring together scholars and practitioners to jointly discuss and reflect on contents, approaches and methodologies that draw the link between synthetic biology and artistic research and how those can synergically interact by mutually interrogating and reconsidering their methodologies and modes of operation in an Artist in Residence program like KLAS. In this workshop they were particularly interested in discussions and perspectives that ex

Evaluation Results of the Pupils’ Workshop ”STEAM Imaging: Art Meets Medical Research” Published

The independent evaluation results of the workshops with pupils in the course of the artist-in-residency program STEAM imaging were published. Together with mathematician Sabrina Haase and artist Yen Tzu Chang I set up the workshop for pupils in Bremen and Linz to explore medical imaging technologies and sound art in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Talent School Bremen and the Ars Electronica in Linz. The workshops in Bremen and Linz were evaluated by the external scien

First Pupils’ Workshop Experiment in Computer Science, Physics, and Sound Art

With the mathematician Sabrina Haase I realized an interactive two day workshop alongside Taiwanese media artist Yen Tzu Chang for pupils in the field of computer-assisted medicine and sound art within the STEAM Imaging artist-in-residency program. The first workshop took place at the Fraunhofer MEVIS Institute at the Technology Park in Bremen.

How to Create an Artist-Residency: Workshop at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics

I presented the artist-in-residency program ”STEAM Imaging” as part of the SciCom activities at Fraunhofer MEVIS. Why and how did we realize it? Together with Claudia Schnugg, we discussed the concept paper of MPI's announcement of an artist as a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics and elaborated evaluation criteria for this new residency program based on other Artist in Residence programs. #workshop #artistinresidency #STEAM #sciart #artsci
