ARS ELECTRONICA ARCHIVE - ART & SCIENCE
The basis of the „European Digital Art and Science Network“ is a big manifold network consisting of scientific mentoring institutions (ESA, CERN, ESO and Fraunhofer MEVIS), the Ars Electronica Futurelab and seven European cultural partners (Center for the promotion of science, RS – DIG Gallery, SK – Zaragoza City of Knowledge Foundation, ES – Kapelica Gallery / Kersnikova, SI – GV Art, UK – Laboral, ES – Science Gallery, IE. The EU funded project lasted from 2014 to 2017.
The Online Archive of Ars Electronica provides an overview of the individual activities of the network and also delivers information about the network itself, the residency artists and the involved project partners and the jury.

Fraunhofer MEVIS: Embedded in a worldwide network of clinical and academic partners, Fraunhofer MEVIS develops real-world software solutions for image-supported early detection, diagnosis, and therapy. Strong focus is placed on cancer as well as diseases of the circulatory system, brain, breast, liver, and lung. The goal is to detect diseases earlier and more reliably, tailor treatments to each individual, and make therapeutic success more measurable. In addition, Fraunhofer MEVIS is committed to raising awareness about how computerization influences health care and to inspiring the young to consider career pathways in science by showing new ideas, approaches, and possibilities that emerge from innovative R&D. The aim is to foster the engagement with, and ownership of future technology.

Embedded in a worldwide network of clinical and academic partners, Fraunhofer MEVIS develops real-world software solutions for image-supported early detection, diagnosis, and therapy.

Fraunhofer MEVIS and Ars Electronica established an artist-in-residency program in conjunction with the European Digital Art and Science Network. Bianka Hofmann, Head of Corporate Communication at Fraunhofer Institute for Medical Image Computing MEVIS, explains the potential she sees in connecting art and science:
”We need a new avant-garde that feeds on the fusion of natural and social sciences, technology and art, and develops societal utopias—neither dystopias nor promises of technological salvation. People cannot comprehend or constructively deal with complex questions in 20-minute presentations or 140 characters. Expert knowledge, time, devotion, and understanding are needed. What we are capable of though is socially and accessibly incorporating and acknowledging this expertise as well as possible. Nerdy is the new awesome! Media-cultural developments such as the sitcom Silicon Valley are just one expression of this. Research, development, and art do not exist in a societal vacuum, and are usually not devised by isolated geniuses. What ideas for the future, sustainable beyond our own lifetime, do we want to carry forward? How do we want to talk about new possibilities in medical technology and describe their development? Every view of the world, including the scientific view, is also a choice of perspective, a specific door to enter. Remembering or even realizing this is an important step towards acknowledging and exploring other perspectives such as art.”
