Designing Global Data Interactions: Combining data, research, theory and practice

Read about the 17 creative, by Design Informatics Students, exploring relationships between diverse sets of data, connecting local and global at multiple physical scales. This was the culmination of weeks of theoretical and practical investigation, with each project challenging students to examine the interdependence of ecological systems, technology and the body, and to translate these into provocative and informative experiences for the public.

Between Glass and Magnetic Fields: A conceptual journey of MRI through glass

Between Glass and Magnetic Fields emerged from the STEAM Imaging VI residency program, developed by Fraunhofer MEVIS. This program set out to create a framework in which the abstract processes of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) could be encountered differently, not only explained, but explored, shared, and critically reflected upon through artistic practice. Presented in Inspace, as part of the 2026 Edinburgh Science Festival and hosted in collaboration with the Institute for Design Informatics, the project situates itself within a broader effort to connect scientific research with public engagement.
