Between Glass and Magnetic Fields: Interactive Talk

Between Glass and Magnetic Fields is an interactive talk, accompanying an art installation by Gregory Alliss, emerging from his time as Creator in Residence for STEAM imaging VI: Resonant Connections through Design and Data, at the Fraunhofer MEVIS Institute for Digital Medicine. This project combines design thinking with medical data science through glass art and immersive installations. Come along and meet the artist and scientists, to experience hands-on creative playful representation of complex Magnetic Resonance Imaging software technologies, through remote live imaging at the MR lab in Germany.
