Patricia Olynyk is an American Canadian multimedia artist, scholar and educator whose work expands viewer awareness of the affect of visual phenomena, sensorium and environment, and interspecies communication by exploring the interrelationships between mind, brain and culture in perceiving art, science and technology. One of the first artists in the US appointed to a scientific unit at a university, she is known for collaborations across disciplines using media that include scientific imaging, photography, sculpture, video and sound.

Career

Olynyk's collaborations on third culture projects uncover the deeper meaning behind the history and evolution of science and technology; how culture and institutions shape the understanding of science, history and the natural world.[1] Influenced by the early work of the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the art and visual perception theories of Rudolf Arnheim, she works with specialists across disciplines such as microscopy and biomedical imaging.[2][3] Considered one of the 66 Brilliant Women in Creative Technology,[4] she was one of the first artists in the US appointed to a university science unit,[5] and has programmed art, science and technology curriculum, symposiums and fellowships at research institutions.[6]

Solo exhibitions include Sensing Terrains at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C.,[7] Dark Skies at the Art I Sci Center Gallery at UCLA,[8][9][10]Transfigurations at Galeria Grafica Tokio, Japan,[11] and with Ellen Levy, Skeptical Inquirers at the Sidney Mishkin Gallery, New York;[12][13][14] Sleuthing the Mind at the Pratt Manhattan Gallery,[15] and Ephemeral: Unraveling History at the Ruth S. Harley Gallery, New York.[16] Her work has been featured at Palazzo Michiel for Venice Design 2018,[17] the Los Angeles International Biennial, The Brooklyn Museum,[18] the Saitama Modern Art Museum in Japan, Museo del Corso in Rome, and The Banff Centre for the Arts in Canada. She is represented by the Bruno David Gallery.[19]

Former Chair of the Leonardo Education and Art Forum, a branch of the International Society for the Arts, Science, and Technology.[20] Olynyk co-directs the Leonardo/ISAST New York LASER program[21] with Ellen K. Levy, promoting cross-disciplinary exchange between artists, scientists, and scholars.[22] Prior to joining Washington University in 2007 as Director of the Graduate School of Art[23] Olynyk was an Associate Professor at the University of Michigan's School of Art & Design, and director of the Penny W. Stamps Distinguished Visitors Program and the Roman J. Witt Visiting Faculty Program, supporting cross-disciplinary discourse and research. In 2005, she became the first non-scientist appointed to the University’s Life Sciences Institute.[24]

Recipient of awards including a Helmut S. Stern Fellowship at the Institute for the Humanities, University of Michigan and a Francis C. Wood Fellowship at the College of Physicians, Philadelphia, Olynyk's residencies include the UCLA’s Design Media Arts Department,[25] the Banff Center for the Arts, Villa Montalvo, California, and the the University of Applied Arts Vienna.[26]
