Exploring the Intersection of Biomedical Imaging and Creative Expression

Abstract: When biomedical imaging is used as a medium in art practice, new pathways unfold of endless creative possibilities. In this session, we will explore the frontiers of this unique connection, as expressed through the artISBI2024 series of innovative activities that merge science and engineering with creativity. These include the art exhibition by Maria Lambropoulou, the live art performance by Sotiris Fokeas (SOTEUR), and the art-in-biomedical imaging competition organized for the first time in the context of ISBI. The transformative power and social impact of art inspired by biomedical imaging will be discussed, through the paradigm of MEDinART, the global network of 200 artists from more than 30 countries, who are inspired by biomedical sciences and imaging. The concept of bio-inspired signal processing will also be explored, in terms of how nature’s functionality could lead to new perspectives of biosignal analysis, showcasing the interplay between biomedical engineering thinking and nature translation.
