I presented the artist-in-residency program ”STEAM Imaging” as part of the SciCom activities at Fraunhofer MEVIS. Why and how did we realize it? Together with Claudia Schnugg, we discussed the concept paper of MPI's announcement of an artist as a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics and elaborated evaluation criteria for this new residency program based on other Artist in Residence programs.
