The artist and technology researcher Tove Noorjahaan Dalenius shares the journey of discovery, creative practice, technological research and academic dissemination, as well as face-to-face exhibition of the direct-write digital hologram Emergence, which visualizes the full extent of the clitoris in its anatomical setting. The intent is to invite readers to consider the entire endeavour through an organic and integrated approach. The project was built through a multidisciplinary process, using a practice-based research method.

Working in the full-parallax digital format with the CHIMERA holography technology, which offers a 250 micrometre hogel size ensuring a clear image, this project explores anatomical imaging from an artist’s perspective. A completed hologram visualises anatomical MRI scans, adapted from a 3D printable model of the Bulbo-clitoral organ, building on studies in urology. A collage approach has been taken to include structural detail and creative vision. The work takes advantage of the available colour representation offered through continuous wave RGB laser technology. Transparent modelling options are explored. A Practice-Based Research method has been adopted to investigate creative possibilities in display holography.

This investigation explores representing information through data visualization using the medium holography. It is an enquiry from the perspective of a creative practitioner deploying an interdisciplinary approach. As the amount of data that can be gathered has increased over a short timeframe our ability to comprehend and get meaning out of the numbers has been brought into attention. This study looks at the possibility of employing three-dimensional imaging to visualize data and additional information. To explore the viability of the concept this project has set out to transform the visualization of energy data calculations to the medium of full-parallax holography.

1999 – 2012 Numerous community arts projects where Dalenius led various, often socially excluded, groups as a digital artist and video filmmaker. Here a brief section:
· Hyped Young men from Glen Parva Young Offenders Institute, young people from Crown Hills Community College (mainly South Asian Young people), First Out (lesbian, gay and bisexual young people), Girls Breakout (rurally based girls group) and Leicester African Caribbean Centre focused on issues which particularly affected their lives and worked through graphics, photography, copy writing and video to produced adverts that were transferred to 35mm film and shown at commercial cinemas such as the Odeon. The National Lottery. Soft Touch Arts.
· Positive Spin This project involved some 40 young people from Leicester who created animations and a series of posters around the theme of intercultural understanding and misunderstanding. A commercial billboard design was displayed in the Leicester city centre. Media Box. Soft Touch Arts.
· Phoenix Reel Crew Teenage film makers produced "My Leicester: Teenage Kicks" a 5-minute drama about the teenage tribes in Leicester. Premiered at the Phoenix Arts independent cinema. Several young people who took part in this project has carried on to study film at graduate level. Phoenix Arts. Crime Beat Leicester. HI8US First Light. Take Over Radio. Soft Touch Arts.
· My Highfields, Your Highfields The Young Roots programme of the Heritage Lottery Fund provided funds for young people from the migrant rich Highfields neighbourhood, Leicester. They traced their own families' journeys around the world using recollections from their grandparents, parents and their own memories to find out how they all ended up in Highfields. Using a video cameras, they captured places of cultural and historical interest in the neighbourhood. The finished film was installed in the community gallery of Newarke Houses Museum.
