我们离真正的“西部世界”还有多远？
为了更进一步了解人工制造有机系统的过程，我采访了生物艺术家艾米·卡尔丽（Amy Karle），她的作品探索了科技与人文之间的界限。 卡尔丽近期的作品中有一件名为《再生圣物》（Regenerative Reliquary），它是由生物3D打印技术制作的支架，且上面覆以干细胞。 从理论上说，随着时间的推移，这件作品会长成一只人手——有朝一日，我们要让人造人拥有德洛丽丝（Dolores）那般完美的肤色可能就要依靠这种技术。

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.
3D printing human bones, experiencing the combination of technology and art
The latest work by American young artist Amy Karle, "Relics of the Relics," has received a lot of attention, not only from the art world, but also from the scientific community.
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..."
REGENERATIVE RELIEF
‘Artist Amy Karle has been dedicated to exploring the relationship between the human body and technology for years. She has taken her work to the field of "BioArt", one of the most recent currents of contemporary art… interesting work that allows finding new ways of conceiving art, as well as contributing in the medical field’ (translated)
Bringing bones to life: Artist prototypes a hand grown out of stem cells
"...there is no doubt that this project transcends science and technology"
“The Best and Most Unique 3D Printer Materials: Photopolymer Edition” and “DIY 3D Printing Resins and the Future of Photopolymers”
“This article in particular will take a look at that most intriguing class of materials known as photopolymers, essential to vat photopolymerization 3D printing processes—such as stereolithography (SLA), digital light processing (DLP)..."
This Artist is Biohacking the Body To 3D Print Fantastical Human Bones
"Working at the intersection of art, technology, and design, Artist Amy Karle is in the midst of her own boundary-pushing bone grafting project. For Regenerative Reliquary, she is hacking bone cells... Karle calls her project a fusion of generative art and regenerative medicine, the idea being that the two disciplines..."
Artist grows real human hand; inspired by work in open source
“Karle explores human biology through technology and art through… She hopes her work can contribute to answers to important questions about human biology. Karle has already released open source instructions for creating 3D-printed lattices for cell culture. She says she's inspired by A neural algorithm for artistic style, and Deep Dream. She's working on related projects that may eventually be used to create..."
An Artist is Growing a Real Human Hand
"The most significant impact on my life from studying and making work with the body and mind is the understanding that things that we think are fixed or concrete are not. My work has shown me that there are always other options, which led to an intrinsic understanding that we can remake ourselves into who we want to become." - Amy Karle
BioArtist Grows a Sculpture out of Bone
"As artists and designers we are no longer tied to working with inanimate objects like clay, metal or fiber. It is really exciting when I think of how we can grow our own sculptures. I hope to inspire other artists and designers to think about possibilities of what they could make beyond what we are traditionally trained to use". - Amy Karle
Bringing Bones To Life
"I turned to synthetic biology and regenerative medicine and set out on a journey of creating artwork that could grow into form. Using CAD design and 3D printing, I created scaffolds to encourage cell growth into a certain form, a 3D printed framework that tissue can regenerate on." - Amy Karle
Bio-artist who brings up “your hand” with 3D printer and stem cells
In order to be able to regenerate the body, it is first necessary to break them apart. In Karle's work, these basic facts are expressed with terrifying beauty.(translated)
21st Century Digital Art: A Collaborative Survey of Digital Art Made Since 2000
Amy Karle’s Biofeedback Artwork is another experiment in creating art through technology, and using the human body as part of the medium… In this piece, she uses existence and the movement within the human body to create visuals of that which cannot be seen… She brings into question our understanding and visualization of consciousness, and attempts to create something that can be seen and understood from something that cannot.
