![scorpios’-summer-cultural-series-redefines-ai-&-visual-art-in-mykonos-&-bodrum](https://roboticulized.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/150975-scorpios-summer-cultural-series-redefines-ai-visual-art-in-mykonos-bodrum.jpg)
LONDON, July 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Scorpios, the renowned beach concept and creative gathering place, in partnership with art tech pioneers HOFA Gallery, announces ‘Evolving Perspectives’ the second edition of their Encounters summer arts programme. Running from 18 July to 18 September, this 9-week series expands to take place across Scorpios’ two stunning beachfront locations, Mykonos and the newly opened Bodrum. Featuring immersive installations and live music performances, the programme will showcase AI and visual artists, headlined by Joseph Klibansky, Random International, and Sougwen Chung – all revered for pushing the boundaries of art and technology.
Building on the success of 2023’s inaugural edition launched with Turkish AI artist and director Refik Anadol, his special collaboration with the Yawanawa Indigenous communities of Brazil’s Amazon, was regarded as a profound exploration of the relationship between human consciousness and nature. Over half a million people attended last year’s programme, generating $3 million in artwork sales, with Refik Anadol’s Yawanawa heritage project alone selling out in hours and raising $1.5 million for the preservation campaign.
HOFA Co-founder Elio D’Anna says: “The 2023 season of Encounters was a groundbreaking and very successful programme that brought together AI and digital artists, musicians, and an audience of global changemakers and creatives through a series of live performances and installations.
“This year’s ‘Evolving Perspectives’ programme continues to push boundaries, making it the most exciting synchronisation of visual art and cultural engagement, while also delivering a very powerful message on the power of AI and human-machine collaboration to help us achieve a more harmonious coexistence with nature.”
The Mykonos lineup headlines Dutch contemporary artist Joseph Klibansky from 18-21 July 2024. Celebrated for his innovative use of technology in art and sculpture, will present ‘Tree of Life’ merging digital art with environmental stewardship. This collection creates a unified visual narrative rich in depth and storytelling, featuring intricate patterns and vibrant colours inspired by nature. The new ‘Tree of Life’ collection includes a large-scale video sculpture installation to be exhibited at Scorpios Mykonos, along with 1,000 unique digitally painted fine art prints with a matching digital companion. Each artwork boasts its own unique traits, ensuring every piece is one-of-a-kind.
Moreover, Klibansky combines visual art with environmental awareness. For every artwork sold, the partnering non-profit One Tree Planted will plant physical trees in the Amazon.
In Bodrum between 22-25 August 2024, the art group Random International, a German duo with studios in London and Stockholm, will present an immersive installation that invites visitors to engage physically with a seemingly sentient, digital swarm. Titled ‘When Tomorrow Comes’, the work features a custom tracking system and flocking algorithm to create an interactive digital sculpture blending technology with human perception and interaction. 3 sets of 150 limited signed edition prints of ‘When Tomorrow Comes’ will be available for purchase.
A global name in human-machine collaboration, and multi-award winning Chinese-Canadian artist Sougwen 愫君 Chung will perform a live showcase with the robotic system D.O.U.G. (Drawing Operations Unit Generation at Scorpios Bodrum between 5-8 September 2024. The single scheduled performance during that weekend offers a unique opportunity to experience their groundbreaking collaborative work. Chung’s innovative approach to combining human artistry with AI technology has earned them international acclaim, including a spot on TIME Magazine’s TIME100 AI list as one of the world’s most influential people in AI and the TIME Impact Award 2024.
Accompanying the performance will be the debut of ‘Genesis II: Body Machine’, a collection of unique artworks. The works in ‘Body Machine’ speculate on the future of the robotic form intertwined with the human body. Each bespoke work is generated from the artist’s drawing choreography captured in three dimensions and paired with exclusive signed prints.
All prints and digital artworks will be available for purchase through Scorpios Collect.
The headline artist events are also supported by a programme of featured AI and visual artists, encompassing music into these collaborative events, they will take place throughout the 2024 summer season in both Mykonos and Bodrum.
Scorpios Co-Founder Thomas Heyne says: “We use digital art to create holistic experiences. Interaction and immersion enhance the overall experience, taking guests on a journey where they feel inspired. We are excited to welcome Joseph Klibansky, Random International, and Sougwen Chung to this year’s Encounters program, showcasing how AI can teach us about living in harmony with nature.”

Two Belgian hospitals live with Sectra’s public cloud service for medical imaging based on Microsoft Azure
![two-belgian-hospitals-live-with-sectra’s-public-cloud-service-for-medical-imaging-based-on-microsoft-azure](https://roboticulized.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/150977-two-belgian-hospitals-live-with-sectras-public-cloud-service-for-medical-imaging-based-on-microsoft-azure.png)
LINKÖPING, Sweden, July 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Two hospitals in Belgium are successfully live with the public cloud service from international medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company Sectra (STOCKHOLM: SECT-B). As the first to use Sectra One Cloud in the Benelux countries, the two hospitals have begun experiencing the benefits of a cloud service such as improved ability to share resources between the sites and more streamlined workflows.
In the city of Bruges in Belgium, the hospitals AZ Sint Lucas and AZ Sint Jan began their journey to the cloud following a contract with Sectra signed in 2023. As the first in the Benelux countries to adopt Sectra’s enterprise imaging as a fully managed service in the public cloud, these hospitals have now gone live with the service.
One of the main reasons for this shift was the need to streamline operations and enhance collaboration between the two sites. Since 2021, the 23 radiologists and nine trainees of both hospitals have worked together in one single association. Previously, they were unable to work in one environment as they were using two different PACS providers. This made it much harder to collaborate. This need originates from the challenge many hospitals face today of dealing with heavy workloads.
“With an aging population come increasing needs. We are already experiencing a lack of resources and heavier workload. With more and more exams to report on and a shortage of staff, our radiologists are having a hard time coping with the everyday workload. A state-of-the art communal PACS system could help streamline workflow and improve efficiency,” says Dr. Jesse Marrannes, radiologist at AZ Sint-Jan and main medical responsible for this PACS project.
Bart Thielen, Managing Director, Sectra Benelux, adds: “Healthcare today needs to be able to cope with the increasing need for diagnostics and specialized care. Transitioning to the cloud is the first step for hospitals wanting to use new technology to cope with these challenges, as the service offers the needed scalability and security. Many hospitals also deal with staff shortages when it comes to qualified IT staff. I am very happy to offer a solution that will take away some of the stress and resources usually needed to manage the system.”
He continues: “AZ Sint Jan and AZ Sint Lucas pave the way for the transition to public cloud for medical imaging in the Benelux and I’m excited to follow their journey.”
The service is based on Microsoft Azure and fully managed by Sectra. The hospitals saw the potential of the service helping to relieve burden on their IT staff and resources. “The fact that it is a fully managed service and deployed in the cloud gives us more time to focus on the care of our patients rather than on the maintenance of the IT-system and the storage and accessibility of data,” said Annelies Meyns, Head of ICT Applications at AZ Sint Jan, when the project was initiated.
The implementation process began shortly after the contract was signed, with Sectra closely collaborating with hospital teams to ensure a seamless transition. “Moving everything to the cloud is a monumental task, but Sectra’s commitment made it manageable and efficient,” says Jurryt Laleeuwe, Head of ICT Applications at AZ Sint Lucas.
The cloud service is now fully operational, bringing notable enhancements. “The new system has already enhanced our ability to share resources and collaborate on patient cases. The ability to tailor our workflows has also greatly benefited our radiologists, especially for overarching multidisciplinary team meetings” says Dr. Pieter Vandaele, Head of the Department of Radiology at AZ Sint Lucas.
He continues: “The implementation and experience so far have been very positive, and I look forward to seeing the ongoing benefits of this cloud service.”
Sectra’s enterprise imaging solution provides a unified strategy for all imaging needs while lowering operational costs. The scalable and modular solution, with a VNA at its core, allows healthcare providers to grow from ology to ology and from enterprise to enterprise.
