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.

Resonant Connections through Design and Data

We are delighted to share this snippet from last month (November), during this year’s Fraunhofer MEVIS residency in Bremen, Germany, which featured work in progress by Edinburgh College of Art PhD student Gregory Alliss, this year’s STEAM Imaging Creator in Residence. The residency took place across two weeks and we are looking forward to hosting Gregory, glass …

“The BOX Will See You Now”   

Find out more about how ‘The BOX’ interactive artwork has come about including how it all started back in November 2023, when Scottish artist, scientist, and physician Fiona Smith visited Fraunhofer MEVIS in Bremen to develop this work and concept, as part of the “STEAM Imaging V” residency program.

The BOX

The BOX is an interactive installation by Dr Fiona Smith, Creator in Residence at Fraunhofer MEVIS, presented by the Institute for Design Informatics, exploring the practical and ethical implications of integrating AI technology into healthcare. Come explore the ‘black box’ aspect of AI technology in the context of digital medicine and journey into the internal and invisible workings of AI systems through the artwork.
