Between Glass and Magnetic Fields is an interactive talk, accompanying an art installation by Gregory Alliss, emerging from his time as Creator in Residence for STEAM Imaging VI: Resonant Connections through Design and Data, at the Fraunhofer MEVIS Institute for Digital Medicine. This project combines design thinking with medical data science through glass art and immersive installations.

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques represent promising opportunities for the study of material cultural heritage in many respects. However, compared to techniques such as microscopy, endoscopy or various computed tomographic (CT) methods, its range of applications has so far only been rudimentarily exploited. Three member institutes of the U Bremen Research Alliance (UBRA) will form a unique transdisciplinary and regional alliance between the German Maritime Museum (DSM), Fraunhofer MEVIS, and the MAPEX Center for Materials and Processes at the University of Bremen, to host the conference on December 7 and 8, 2023. The conference MRI for Cultural Heritage Objects is dedicated to state current research in the field of complementary methods and technologies for the monitoring in conservation of historical and archaeological objects.
