Amy Karle (born 1980) is an American bioartist, provocateur and futurist. She was named in the BBC's 100 women in 2019.[1] She combines technology with art and is known for using live tissue in her works.[2] Karle is an exponent of art science collaboration with scientific organisations and takes part in residency programmes.[3] She creates work that looks forward to a future where technology can support and enhance the human condition.[4]

Personal life

Karle was born in New York in 1980[5] and grew up in Endicott, NY. Her mother was a biochemist and her father was a pharmacist and Karle has said she "grew up in the lab in the pharmacy".[6] Her studio is in San Francisco.

Karle has a rare condition, aplasia cutis,[7] which means she had skin missing on her scalp; this experience inspired her interest in the links between biology and art.[1][2] Karle underwent a series of experimental surgical procedures as a child.[6][8]

Education

Karle is an alumnus of the School of Art and Design at Alfred University and attended Cornell University where she received a degree in Philosophy.[9][10][11]

Residencies

Karle collaborated with Autodesk at the Pier 9 Residency program in San Francisco[12] and created Regenerative Reliquary (2016) to interrogate ways we can change the structure of our bodies.[13]

Karle was an artist diplomat on an American Arts Incubator cultural exchange funded by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.[10][14] Karle visited Poland in 2018 and ran a number of workshops focusing on women's empowerment in STEAM fields.[15] During residency Karle shared her digital and art skills to empower STEAM women. As a result of the initiative, Karle and 20 Polish artists presented Layers of Life at the Copernicus Science Centre in Warsaw.[16][17]

The way in which technology can capture a form and impact evolution was part Karle's collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum of Natural History and Digitization Program.[18] A 3D scan had been made of Hatcher the Triceratops skeleton.[19] Karle used the scan data to create a series of artworks imagining new forms based upon extinct species as “hypothetical evolutions through technological regeneration”, an example of information art.[18] In all Karle created nine sculptures in two series: Deep Time and the Far Future and Morphologies of Resurrection as part of Regeneration Through Technology (2020).[20]

Major works and exhibitions

Regenerative Reliquary artwork by Amy Karle (2016); bio-art sculpture.into bone.
Regenerative Reliquary by Amy Karle (2016) bio-art sculpture of hand design 3D printed / bio-printed on microscopic level in trabecular structure out of pegda hydrogel to create scaffold for human MSC stem cell culture into bone.

Regenerative Reliquary (2016) takes the form of a hand 3D-printed in a biodegradable hydrogel which will disintegrate over time.[21] It is installed in a bioreactor and it is intended that human stem cells seeded on to it could eventually grow into tissue and become bone.[22] The work has been designed with future implantation in mind. Regenerative Reliquary won the Grand Prize at the YouFab Global Creative Awards.[21] It has been widely exhibited internationally and included as part of Future Humanity – Our Shared Planet (2018-19) a joint exhibition project by the Central Academy of Fine Arts Beijing, Ars Electronica and Hyundai.[23] Karle delivered a related keynote speech in 2018 at the 2nd Beijing Media Art Biennale (BMAB) Forum on the way people and technology blend together and addressed the question of 'post life'.[24] Regenerative Reliquary was also exhibited at the Centre Pompidou Paris, France, as part of La Fabrique du Vivant (The Fabric of the Living) in 2019 and then at The Lowry, Salford, England, as part of The State of Us (2019-20).[25][26][27][28][29] It is being shown during 2021 by the Jugendstilsenteret KUBE Art Museum, Ålesund, Norway, as part of the Am I Human to You? exhibition.[30]

Morphologies of Resurrection (2020) was shown as part of the Science Gallery Rotterdam's exhibition (UN)REAL.[31] This was composed of sculptures based on segments of the spine from the Hatcher Triceratops 3D scan data created as part of the Smithsonian residency.[32]

Amy Karle with her 2019 artwork The Heart of Evolution?

The Heart of Evolution? (2019) is a biomechanical sculpture taking the form of a beating human heart placed on exhibition.[33] The work proposes a redesigned vascular system with the potential to enhance heart function. It was 3D printed by HP and exhibited at the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo, Japan (2019-20).[34][35]

As part of Ars Electronica .ART Global Gallery 2020, Karle exhibited The Heart of Evolution?, plus a collection of digitally enhanced prints The Body and Technology: A Conversational Metamorphosis (2017) and a performance video art work Biofeedback (2011) which used an image processor as an electrophysiological visualization device.[36][11][37][38]

Feast of Eternity is a 3-D print of a human skull that used crystallization to show how cells grow along a lattice. It was exhibited at The Life Art Science Technology (LAST) Festival 2018 (Stanford University).[39][40]

Internal Collection (2016–17) is a series of garments based on human anatomy and showing internal biosystems. Karle used 3D scanning to make pattern pieces to cut the garments out. Some of these dresses were shown at FILE Electronic Language International Festival, São Paulo, Brazil (2017).[41] Internal Collection includes a lavender silk and silver metal dress based on the pulmonary system, a blue silk unisex jumpsuit based on the nervous system and a yellow dress based on ligaments and tendons; these were exhibited together as part of Future and the Arts: AI, Robotics, Cities, Life - How Humanity Will Live Tomorrow (2019-2020) at the Mori Art Museum.[35][42]

Reprocessed (2009) was a floor-length gown made from slices of processed pork meat unfit for eating; the dress had a short life to reflect the 'ephemerality' of beauty. Karle's meat dresses and corsets featured at an American Cancer Society benefit.[13]
