In conjunction with the exhibition of Primary Intimacy of being in the entrance hall of Palais des Congrès, Paris, Xavier Maître was invited on the stage of Agora JFR to present long term art-science research on medical imaging and self image.
The Journées Francophone de Radiologie gather 11 to 13 thousands people (practitioners, researchers, companies, startups) every year around all radiological modalities in SFR.
Medical imaging extends our perception to greater depths, allowing us to probe and quantify the human body in all dimensions of space and time. The technology through which it develops thus gives us an image of the human being that is both intimate and augmented, a shared image that we are willing to share and a unique image that we might prefer to keep from the gaze of others.
By exhibiting a mirror augmented by medical imaging in the public space, Primary Intimacy of being, we evaluate the relationship that each of us has with our own image and the one that medical imaging can render. By dynamically rendering this image and augmenting it with physiological rhythms, we can work on the Proteus effect and imagine biological feedback in patients with respiratory distress as it is planned in V|LF-Spiro3D WP4.
Primary Intimacy of being is the paradigm of research requiring the instruments and methods of art and science, of joint art-science research. So we could see us breathe!
