Issues in Science and Technology (winter issue) by the National Academy of Sciences and Arizona State University features Karle’s AI-assisted biodesign work. Acutely aware of the volume of questions and concerns AI poses, Karle chooses to use AI in her research and work to illuminate that it can be used to support and co-create preferable futures. "The future with AI does not have to be something that happens to us, it is something that we can co-create." - Amy Karle
The growing focus on creating healthier, more energy-efficient buildings is reshaping how we design and inhabit spaces. By improving air quality, insulating against pollutants and pests, and optimizing energy consumption, these methods not only reduce utility costs but also enhance living conditions. Experts like Amy Karle highlight how artificial intelligence and nature’s intelligence can be integrated to design sustainable environments that promote health and well-being for both people and the planet. As cities like New York implement laws to cut emissions, Passive House Standards represent a future of smarter, healthier buildings for all.
Amy Karle's interactive installation Echoes from the Valley of Existence at the Sapporo International Art Festival employs modern technology to articulate our 'bio-digital echoes,' allowing viewers to leave behind their DNA and text messages, which will be sent to the moon. This work delves into the ephemeral nature of human existence, inviting reflection on the legacy and interpretation of life in a future where the boundaries of death are extended by digital and biological technologies.
U svojoj interaktivnoj umjetničkoj instalaciji "Odjeci iz doline postojanja", Amy Karle prikuplja i šalje digitalne i DNK uzorke na mjesec. Ovaj projekt, koji spaja biotehnologiju s umjetničkim izražavanjem, poziva na razmišljanje o nasljeđu bioloških i digitalnih ostataka čovječanstva, potičući kontemplaciju o tome kako bi buduća bića mogla interpretirati odjeke naše trenutne egzistencije.
WIRED Japan interviews artist Amy Karle in this podcast. Their discussion focuses on the impacts of technology and biotechnology on health, humanity, society, and the future, and her installation Echoes from the Valley of Existence at the Sapporo International Art Festival (SIAF Triennial) which explores the ephemeral nature of human existence in a future where digital and biological technologies enable life beyond physical death, provoking questions about the legacy and interpretation of human existence by future generations or extraterrestrial beings. (In Japanese and English).
In her interactive art installation Echoes From the Valley of Existence, Amy Karle collects and sends Digital and DNA samples to the moon. This project, merging biotechnology with artistic expression, invites reflection on the legacy of humanity's biological and digital remnants, provoking contemplation on how future beings might interpret the echoes of our current existence. "...the installation’s more about provoking questions than providing answers. Questions about how the biological and digital remnants we leave behind “echo” ahead in time, for example, and how future societies could interpret these relics."
This article discusses the broader implications of generative AI on society, including its potential to homogenize cultural narratives and copyright laws, alongside Amy Karle's innovative use of AI in biodesign to address environmental challenges, particularly in projects that guide the growth of mycelium-based materials and speculative biomimetic corals for environmental sustainability and carbon dioxide mitigation, reflecting a nuanced view of AI's role in shaping future societal and environmental outcomes.
Marlene Barts Buch untersucht die Verbindungen zwischen Künstlerbüchern und Enzyklopädien, wobei sie die Naturgeschichte als gemeinsamen Bezugspunkt wählt. Amy Karles innovative Arbeiten werden als herausragendes Beispiel für die Verschmelzung von Technologie, Kunst und Naturgeschichte hervorgehoben. Karle integriert digitale, biologische und physische Systeme, um die Grenzen der Wissensvermittlung zu erweitern. Das Buch betont, wie ihre transdisziplinäre Herangehensweise an das Sammeln und Organisieren von Daten traditionelle Ordnungssysteme herausfordert und neue Möglichkeiten für die Entwicklung virtueller Räume und das Wissen im digitalen Zeitalter aufzeigt.
‘American bio artist Amy Karle… primarily works in the computer technology sub-genre of bio art… and examines how technology and biotechnology impact the human body. In recent artworks from the 2010s, she made a 3D-printed heart form that pulses biomechanical, ...and a scaffold in the shape of a human hand seeded with donated human cells … At the heart of these works by Karle, Catts, Zurr, and Anker is a perceptual license to explore the philosophical and spiritual aspects of the life sciences that traditional biologists, neurosurgeons, or chemists are not typically granted.’
The article discusses the burgeoning support for ArtScience collaborations, highlighting Amy Karle's innovative work at the intersection of art, science, and technology, and her significant impact on the field as a pioneering bioartist and futurist. Karle's projects, emphasizing the fusion of digital, physical, and biological systems, exemplify the transformative potential of integrating artistic and scientific methodologies to envision and shape future human advancements.
