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.
