Premiering at Ars Electronica’s Festival and Media Art Nexus NTU Singapore, BEFORE US LIES ETERNERDY is a short movie that shows different scales of the human body: digitized microscopic lymphoma tissue is examined with the molecular cytogenetic technique Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) to detect abnormal changes in DNA, 3-D reconstructions of a liver as well as a whole-body MRI. How can art contribute not only artistry and a sense of awe to removing barriers for engagement with severe health topics, but also as a transdisciplinary approach to innovation in digital medicine? The movie marks the beginning of a cooperation between students and faculty from NTU Singapore and scientists from Fraunhofer MEVIS (DE).
