Online Course

How have imaging and visualisation technologies changed our lives? This fully online course will introduce you to contemporary and historical crossovers and collaborations between art, science and medicine, and how relationships between these disciplines have evolved from the seventeenth century to the present time.

This online course will provide you with opportunities to investigate a vast range of images generated by visualisation techniques in the life sciences; from drawing through to microscopy, anatomical photography, DNA sequencing, radiology and MRI scans.

This course is designed to enhance your interest in and awareness of medical and scientific imaging, and to support you in exploring its interdisciplinary potential with the visual arts. Through a series of lectures, independent research and tasks as well as online group activities, you will become aware of the varied history and current implications of medical imaging.
