A Double Look: Using Biomaterials as an Art Platform
At the intersection of art and STEM, artists have integrated new technology to be a medium and inspiration for their work… Utilizing 3D printing, Amy Karle was able to create Regenerative Reliquary, a new media art, by printing stem cells and a scaffold to build bone… Perhaps through art, we as scientists can bridge the gap between the STEM community and the public and excite a broader audience about new and novel ideas.
Regenerative Reliquary: Fabricating a Relic of the Future
Regenerative Reliquary" by Amy Karle combines 3D printing with regenerative medicine in a sculpture that questions the intersection of art, science, and the nature of being. This biotechnological artwork, growing bone from stem cells on a 3D framework, explores life, death, and the potential for human enhancement. Karle's project highlights the ethical and transformative implications of merging cutting-edge science with creative expression, signaling a future where art and medicine profoundly intersect.
Amy Karle named one of the “35 Most Influential Women in 3D Printing”
“We recognize a number of the most inspirational and influential women working in the 3D printing industry today. Each of them is contributing to the industry in different ways and helping to shape the way 3D printing has a positive impact on design, engineering, manufacturing…"
SCIENCE, ART & FASHION: Meet Amy Karle, an artist and designer who uses the mind, body, science and technology to create art
"I create artwork as a way to enable people to look at the beauty and mystery in the structure of how life works" –Amy Karle
Garments Based on Anatomy by Artist Amy Karle
"Switching up conventions about the body and beauty, this series of garments shows our internal systems in wearable form. I wanted to highlight the beauty that I see in the perfection of these systems" - Amy Karle
Wikipedia | Hybrid Art
New media art refers to artworks created with new media technologies. Hybrid arts is a contemporary art movement in which artists work with frontier areas of science and emerging technologies.BioArt is an art practice where humans work with live tissues, bacteria, living organisms, and life processes (translated).
This 3D Printed Art Project Could Have Medical Applications
“This 3D Printed Art Project [by Amy Karle] Could Have Medical Applications... potential use of this technology could be in bone grafts or tissue implants in the future”
Amy Karle: Technology and Consciousness
“Karle is a bioartist who uses the mind-body, science and technology to create art. Karle’s artwork taps our concepts of what it means to be human and in this body, expressing internal, ephemeral experiences in visual forms.”
How Long Before We Can Build ‘Westworld’ Host Robots for Real?
To learn more about the process of artificially creating organic systems, I reached out to Amy Karle, a bio-artist whose work explores the boundaries between technology and humanity. Her recent work includes Regenerative Reliquary, a bio-printed scaffold seeded with stem cells that, over time, will theoretically grow into a human hand—exactly the kind of tech that might one day give us robots with Dolores's flawless complexion.
Forget Impressionism, This Artist is Growing a Real Skeleton Human Hand in a Lab
“I create artwork about the body,” Karle said. “I work across a lot of different platforms, but the body is the consistent theme. I’m curious about what it means to be human… As an artist, you’re a provocateur but also a storyteller. In this scenario, I’m showing the intelligence of how stem cells work…"
Lab Grown Bones on Display
“Karle hopes her work will inspire scientists who are growing bone for medical use. “I have anopportunity to bring attention to this type of research,” she says. The hand also raises questionsabout growing body parts in a lab.”
Amy Karle’s Regenerative Reliquary – A 3D Printed Bone Growth Scaffold as Sculpture
“Regenerative Reliquary is a 3D printed scaffold made of biodegradable hydrogel that disintegrates over time, with the aim that stem cells seeded onto the design will grow tissue and mineralize into bone along the scaffold.”
3D Printed Scaffold for Artistic Cell Culture
"At the juncture between creative exploration and scientific technology lies the work of Amy Karle. The idea behind her work was to use live cells as the components of a sculptural form. By harnessing the natural functions of the cells, replication and growth, she uses them to build her sculpture around a scaffold that she has created…"
Science, Art, Economics & Assemblages of Care
Engaged in speculative work that expand on the potential of 3D printing , pushing the boundaries for the future direction of the tech… Earlier this year Amy Karle grew a hand design in live bone from human steam cells on the surface of a biofriendly, biodegradable 3D printed lattice. The artwork explores potentialities for enhancing our human body, and simultaneously is redefining the potential of 3D printing for biomedical applications. The outcomes of this residency varies from biotechnology, to innovation in materials, to new production techniques for fashion garments. Furthermore, it highlights how artists working with specific skill sets in…
Regenerative Reliquary: Bringing Bones To Life
“Karle’s work establishes a new discipline in the art world called Bioart, an art form whereby sculptures are grown from living materials. This also has vast potential for healthcare, beauty, fitness and a new way of thinking and making. Karle explains that in the future, not only could we fabricate additions to our bodies and..."
