Digital Art is a fascinating area of creativity that sees artists using technology to create the very latest in art practice. From performance to the visual arts, in the UK and internationally there are beautiful and powerful imaginings being created for theatres, galleries, public spaces, online and unique locations… American artist Amy Karle was part of our 2019-2020 exhibition THE STATE OF US… listening to her thought process and methods reveals just how far artists have come in harnessing and experimenting with technology advances as they create new ideas.
Amy Karle created a series of artworks, each intended to imagine novel forms based upon extinct species to explore “hypothetical evolutions through technological regeneration.” … the collection evokes the golden era of natural history museums (and perhaps the age of cabinets of curiosities), “specimens and relics” investigating the relationship between structures that once served creatures of eons past for the purpose of finding application for future forms using their framework of stability, flexibility, and strength.
In this book, Virginie Tournay examines the political implications of artificial intelligence in enhancing human capacities. Amy Karle is mentioned as an artist whose work is rooted at the intersection of technology and the human experience. Karle’s art serves as an example of how AI technologies are used to expand human abilities and open up new perspectives on the future of humanity. Tournay emphasizes the need for a critical and informed culture surrounding algorithms to navigate the challenges of the digital era. (translated)
Marlene Bart’s book explores the relationship between artist books and encyclopedias, using natural history as a unifying theme. Amy Karle's groundbreaking work is featured as a key example of merging technology, art, and natural history. Karle’s integration of digital, biological, and physical systems pushes the boundaries of knowledge dissemination and virtual reality. The book emphasizes how her transdisciplinary approach to collecting and organizing data challenges traditional organizational systems and offers new possibilities for virtual development and knowledge in the digital age.

There are many women who have positively impacted their environment throughout history, most of which have been through social, economic, humanitarian, scientific, artistic, legal, and technological achievements. Today we dedicate this list to 10 women who are inspiring their communities and the world… Born with a health disorder that caused the absence of skin, Amy Karle was soon convinced of the capabilities of the human body when exposed to the right technological conditions. She is an award-winning bioartist, who designed a human hand with 3D-printed scaffolds and stem cells. “Biotechnology can lead us to a very promising future or irreversible demise. It…
Amy Karle’s mission is to positively impact others, raise consciousness and contribute to social, political, and technical development by making and sharing her work. As an artist and designer, Karle uses HP Multi Jet Fusion technologies which include the Jet Fusion 5200 and 580 printing systems to build her pieces, creating art that catalytically examines material and spiritual aspects of life and opens minds to future visions of how technology could be utilized to unlock human potential.
“I love the exploration and development that 3D printing offers: a new opportunity for thinking, a new way to reshape what we create, and a completely new approach to expression in which digital, physical and biological systems are interwoven,” said Amy Karle.
“Amy Karle is a bioartist. She combines art, science, and technology, using live tissue to create her work. For her latest project she has 3D-printed a beating heart; her next step is to make a version that uses human stem cells. In making her art, she helps develop new understanding and techniques, that could be used by researchers in the future.
Artist Amy Karle created nine sculptures in two series examining the possibilities of reconstructive technologies and the potential and the pitfalls of future evolution that come with technological advancements. The sculptures are based on the 66-million-year-old Triceratops at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, which made history as the first “digital dinosaur”—the first 3D scan of an entire dinosaur skeleton executed by the Smithsonian’s Digitization Program Office.
It was important to inspire both our own staff and people worldwide with some early examples of what Smithsonian Open Access will stimulate. These early collaborators included artists, innovators, educators, technologists, and more and their projects inspire delight… Artist Amy Karle created a sculpture series examining the possibilities of reconstructive technologies and the potential and the pitfalls of technology—enabled using a 66-million-year-old Triceratops from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History.
Artist Amy Karle unveils a series of sculptures of the National Museum of Natural History’s 66-million-year-old triceratops, Hatcher… The Smithsonian invited artists, educators and researchers for a sneak peak into the archives, and will be featuring some of their creations... Among them is a series of sculptures crafted by artist Amy Karle, depicting the National Museum of Natural History’s 66-million-year-old triceratops, Hatcher. Karle, who specializes in 3-D artworks that highlight body form and function, was keen on bringing the fossil to life in an era where modern technology has made de-extinctions of ancient species a tantalizing possibility. Six of her nine 3-D…
What is life in the Biotech era, in this era where we can enhance ourselves as humans? Use biotech and our digital techniologies to become really anyone that we can imagine. The future of humanity rests in the ddecisions we make of. how we use our science and technology and how we design what we want our future humanity to be.
Digital versions make the real thing more valuable, not less and we are in. the early stages of translating the power of context to the man audiences that visit the Smithsonian… Artist Amy Karle reimagined the Hatcher Triceratops fossil, the first digital dinosaur, in gold.
This issue of Harper's BAZAAR features the groundbreaking work of Amy Karle, emphasizing her forward-thinking approach as an artist who explores the synergy between humanity and technology. Karle's work highlights how technology can transform the human experience, inviting viewers to contemplate these changes. (translated)
“We can look to the biotech architecture of the body for models of how to build a resilient city. When the biotech architecture of the body functions properly, it is in physical and mental health and well-being, exceptionally resilient and highly adaptive, the picture of ultimate vitality. The intelligence and design of the body and its’ functions, systems and interrelationships - down to the smallest components of cells and DNA - reveal the complex interworking of a profoundly intelligent system designed with multiple highly organized systems including infrastructure, prioritization, electricity, communication, fuel, recycling and waste management, short and long term…
What happens when digital technology and our bodies start to merge? Zoë Comyns meet artists who are growing body parts with human cells, implanting technology into their bodies and questioning whether we can have meaningful relationships with sex robots. She will also meet an artist who exists only in the digital realm… Amy Karle has been named one of the most influential women in 3D printing. Born with a rare skin condition, she grew up fascinated by technology and how it can be used to heal and enhance our bodies. As a bioartist, her work includes a human hand design…
Includes text about Amy Karle’s 5 artworks in the exhibition Future and the Arts: AI, Robotics, Cities, Life - How Humanity Will Live Tomorrow (translated)
Amy Karle’s The Internal Collection is a lineup of garments inspired by the internal tissues of the human nervous system, the lungs, and the ligaments. Karle uses advanced technologies including 3D body scans, CAD, and laser-cut patterns, combining them with artisanal hand-sewing to create these fashion pieces that take the form of “wearable internal organs.”
Mori Art Museum presents Future and the Arts: AI, Robotics, Cities, Life - How Humanity Will Live Tomorrow, a display of art, design and architecture projects that take a leap ahead… The showcase also features artist and designer Amy Karle and her series Internal Collection, a series of 3D printed garments inspired by biological systems in humans - muscular, nervous, cardiovascular etc.
