Art in Biomedical Imaging
Join us for a fascinating exploration at the intersection of art and biomedical imaging, as we present a unique line of events during ISBI 2024. This innovative gathering promises to captivate the imagination, merging the realms of science and creativity in a celebration of ingenuity and expression.
Life Canvas: Connecting biological scales through imaging
Experience the convergence of science and art in a spectacular showcase at ISBI 2024, as Soteur, a renowned multidisciplinary artist, embarks on a live painting creation inspired by cutting-edge imaging technology. As part of the Art-in-Biomedical-Imaging line of events you can witness the fusion of creativity and scientific exploration as the artist translates concepts from the field of imaging technologies that connect biological scales -such as proteins to cells and cells to organisms- into a captivating work of art before your eyes. Engage with Soteur as he draws inspiration from biological structures revealed through imaging modalities and gain a deeper understanding for the transformative power of artistic interpretation in the realm of biomedical research.
Soteur will be working on a 2 m by 3 m canvas in real-time, at the foyer of the Conference venue.
Sotiris Fokeas “SOTEUR” is a human, multidisciplinary artist, born and raised in Athens, Greece. He graduated from Athens School of Fine Arts (ASFA) in 2013 and from the Master’s in Fine Arts Program of ASFA in 2020. His work revolves around street art, conceptual art, installations, and performance. At its core, it has always been about the polarity between private and public spaces, with public being either the streets or the internet through social media platforms.
