Volumetric visions in digital pathology, neuroscience and media art
Touching Thoughts is an art-science project realized in cooperation between the Department of Pathology and Molecular Pathology and Institute of Anatomy and Cell Biology of JKU, and the net culture initiative servus.at servus.at – Kunst und Kultur im Netz.
The project is centered on the three-dimensional imaging of brain and body tissues produced by advanced microscopy techniques. In collaboration with neuroscientists and digital pathologists at JKU, a group of media artists explored the production conditions, aesthetics, and modalities of interacting with the data. The resulting projects displayed at JKU medSPACE during the Ars Electronica Festival describe and demystify the computational layers of medical science and shed light on how digital technologies contribute to scientific knowledge.
