Amy Karle (born 1980) is an American artist, bioartist, and futurist whose work focuses on the relationship between technology and humanity, specifically how technology and biotechnology impact health, humanity, society, evolution, and the future.[1][2][3][4][5] Karle combines science and technology with art and is known for using living tissue in her work.[6][7][8]

Karle has served as an Artist Diplomat through the United States Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, where she led workshops focusing on women's empowerment in STEAM fields.[9][10] In 2019, she was named one of the BBC's 100 women.[11]

Personal life

Karle was born in New York in 1980[12] and grew up in Endicott, outside the upstate city of Binghamton. Her mother was a biochemist and her father was a pharmacist and Karle has said she "grew up in the lab and in the pharmacy".[13] Karle is an alumnus of the School of Art and Design at Alfred University and Cornell University where she received degrees in Art and Design and Philosophy.[14][15]

Karle was born with a rare condition, aplasia cutis congenita, missing a large region of skin on her scalp and also missing bone in her skull. She underwent a series of experimental surgical procedures as a child. The skin was repaired by tissue expansion surgery that was considered dangerous and experimental at the time that it was performed.[16][13] This experience impacted her work and desire to heal and enhance the human body and human condition.[17] This early experience also inspired her interest in the links between biology, medical futuring and art.[11][7]

Work

Regenerative Reliquary artwork by Amy Karle (2016); BioArt sculpture.into bone.
Regenerative Reliquary by Amy Karle (2016) is a BioArt sculpture of a hand design scaffold for cell culture into bone.

Karle researches and explores the impact of technology on bodily enhancement through her artwork.[8][18][2] Karle was named as one of the BBC's 100 women in 2019.[11]

Her sculpture, Regenerative Reliquary (2016) features a 3D-printed bioprinted hydrogel scaffold shaped like the bones of a human hand placed inside a glass vessel. Human Mesenchymal stem cells from a living donor were placed on the scaffold which over time grew into bone.[8][19][20][21][22] It has been exhibited internationally.[23][24][25][26][27]

Karle has created a number of artworks and performances using biofeedback and neurofeedback including:[28] A work from 2011, Biofeedback Art, was a durational performance where Karle's body was connected to a Sandin Image Processor that detected the changes that occur while she meditated over periods of 5–8 hours. Video art was created in the form of projections during the process.[29][18][30] In 2015, Brainsongs involved connecting her brain activity via an EEG neuroheadset to musical instruments in a digital interface to output music.[31] In the same year, Resonation involved an EEG neuroheadset connected to a Chladni plate to generate bio-signals into visuals and sounds. Her 2018 Performance in Salt Mine was conducted in the Bochnia Salt Mine and Wieliczka Salt Mine using an EEG neuroheadset to translate her brainwaves into digital music and projected visualizations, which were later used in a planetarium film she made. [32][33][28][34]

Internal Collection (2016–17) is a series of garments based on human anatomy. The fabrication consists of 3D body scanning, computer-aided design, laser cutting, and hand-sewing techniques to create representations of internal body systems.[35][36][37]

Cyborg Fashion (2022-2023) is a digital art and fashion collection where Karle envisions "biofashion in a post-natural world when bodies and beings are altered by biotechnology".[38][39]

The Body and Technology: A Conversational Metamorphosis (2017) is a collection of 2D artworks by Amy Karle made by hand and with artificial neural networking, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. In this body of work, Karle coupled artificial intelligence in healthcare with generative design to devise a system for leveraging AI in the diagnosis of disease, with generative CAD designing replacement parts, and 3D bioprinting to create implants.[40][41]

Morphologies of Resurrection (2020) is a series of 6 sculptures created as part of a Smithsonian residency.[42] Karle's process examined the possibilities of reconstructive technologies and future evolution through biotechnological advancements.[43][44] The artworks are novel evolutionary forms based upon extinct species to explore “hypothetical evolutions through technological regeneration”, 3D printed in biocompatible material.[45] [46] They were exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution.[47]

Digital art

The majority of Karle’s works include digital technologies and digital processes. Karle has also worked in decentralized computing and blockchain for biology and genetics and was an early adaptor of NFT technology.[48][49] Karle stated: "I see decentralization as a vehicle to transcend the physical limitations of what art - and our lives - can be."[50] The Skull Collection (2021–22), is a series of NFT artworks by Karle that “are contemplations of how we can transcend the physical into the digital after we die.”[51][18]

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Karle has spoken on AI and biology.[6][52][53] Karle has integrated AI, artificial neural networking, machine learning, and 3D generative design and engineering into her practice for creative purposes and to explore their implications on healthcare and the future.[54][39] Her AI and bio-AI hybrid artworks have been in museum exhibitions including: Artificial Intelligence: AI / The Other I Ars Electronica Linz, Austria,[23] La Fabrique Du Vivant Centre Pompidou, Paris, France,[55][25] and Future and the Arts: How Humanity Will Live Tomorrow Mori Art Museum, Tokyo, Japan.[12][56][57][52][53]
