Jody Rasch (born in New York City in 1956) is a contemporary artist working in the art/sci movement.[1] Rasch's work explores the modern world through the lens of science images.[2][1] For example, Rasch uses images from electron microscopes to show the beauty of deadly diseases such as HIV and cancer cells.[3] On the macro scale, Rasch uses images of galaxies, the cosmic background radiation to examine our place in the universe.[4] On the sub-atomic level, Rasch uses images from particle accelerators.[1] Generally, images of our galaxy and space are represented on a much smaller scale and images of the microscopic are represented in a much larger scale.[5] He uses a variety of media that includes acrylic and oil paint, colored pencil and pen and ink to make his work.[1]

Rasch's paintings are in the Embassy of the United States, Dhaka as part of the Art in Embassies Program.[5] Rasch's work has been included in notable exhibitions such as "The World Unseen: Intersections of Art and Science" at the David J. Sencer CDC Museum in Atlanta, GA.[6] In 2018, Rasch was in a two-person exhibition at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, DC.[7] He is co-founder of Lamina Project, a curatorial project devoted to giving visibility to the art/sci movement.[2]
