Animated Health is an annual conference for healthcare professionals, with the purpose of showcasing user-friendly appliances using animation and visual tools. Animated Health focuses on the relationship with the patients and their understanding of different treatments, operations, and services

Why use animation in the first place? The ability to understand and process information about healthcare is essential for a good dialogue with patients and their families. Health literacy, as it is often called, lowers the risk of errors, re-hospitalization, and bad hospital visits. Animation and visual communication are effective tools to support and better the health care literacy of patients and professionals.

The healthcare sector is getting more complex with treatments across sectors, plus there is a growing demand for easily accessible and understandable information among patients and citizens. Animated Health 2022 focuses on the visual aspect of strengthening the patient’s health literacy through animation and visual storytelling with a series of cases and presentations.

The SCI-VI Conference focuses on visualization and animation in science dissemination, this year under the headline “SYMBIOSIS – Imagination and visualization as interdisciplinary field of exploration”

The Sci-Vi Conference facilitates knowledge exchange and networking between researchers in different fields and visual storytellers, seeking to explore and unfold visual science dissemination as a field. Sci-Vi is an initiative at The Animation Workshop/VIA UC seeking to explore and unfold visual science dissemination as a field, improve science communication and focus on science productions through visualization and animation.

This year’s Sci-Vi conference will focus on how to imagine and visualize in interdisciplinary fields. To be resilient as human beings, we must be able to imagine new clever futures in order to keep up with the movement of life and to move life ourselves. This applies not least to researchers who move to unknown lands to investigate what we do not yet know. Throughout the ages, researchers have worked closely with visual storytellers and artists to 1) strengthen their imagination, and 2) their visual communication to convey their results and thesis to the public and investors. At this year’s sci-vi conference, we will continue that tradition of bridgebuilding between researchers and visual storytellers when we share experiences with interdisciplinary imagination, visual research methods, and dissemination. We develop our future in symbiosis, and to be resilient as human beings, to see potential, get visions, and overcome the change in any way, we must build bridges between fields of knowledge, and share our stories.

The screening is a part of the Sci-Vi-conference, this year themed: SYMBIOSIS – Imagination and visualization as interdisciplinary field of exploration. As a part of the conference the filmprogram will show examples of visualized science dissemination.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A

Together with Viborg Library VAF invites all of you to join a wonderful talk about animation, presented by animators themselves.  We will explore the thoughts behind different productions, watch movies, and talk about how art and stories affect us.

Through a series of 3 talks we’ll dive into different aspects of animation. The first talk is an introduction to artist and filmmaker Michelle Kranot and her work. She is based here in Viborg and works here together with her husband at The Animation Workshop. But their work extends far beyond the city limits.  Together they have received international film prizes and their work has been exhibited around the world. We will dive into their experimental films, tactile VR-works, and get a look into new technologies and experiences.

The talk will be in English, it is free but requires sign-up

Through a series of 3 talks we’ll dive into different aspects of animation. This talk will be a presentation of the new animated kids show “Monster Loving Maniacs”, created by the studio JA Film in Århus. To give us a peek into the series is the producer and writer Anders Berthelsen. The show ia made for children age 6-10 years, and is about three monster-hunting siblings and their tough old grandpa.
