Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Medicine MEVIS
The STEAM Imaging residency program invites artists and creatives to engage in an intensive exchange with scientists at Fraunhofer MEVIS. Together, they critically examine current methods, developments, and research findings in digital medicine.
STEAM Imaging offers an experimental framework in which creatives and scientists reflect on current research and explore new approaches to artistic production. The focus is on knowledge transfer: a key element of the program is the shared STEAM experience through workshops and events with high school students, and, in the case of STEAM Imaging IV, additionally with their friends and families.
This alliance between art and research enables prospective university students to explore scientific and technical topics from new and unexpected perspectives. At the same time, we encourage them to engage with science, technology, and art in creative and self-efficacious ways. Artists and creatives take on various roles, ranging from artwork developers to research partners and STEAM educators. The program also offers researchers the opportunity to reflect on the broader societal dimensions of their work.
