Wikipedia | BioArt

“BioArt is an art practice where artists work with biology, live tissues, bacteria, living organisms, and life processes. Using scientific processes and practices such as biology and life science practices, microscopy, and biotechnology (including technologies such as genetic engineering, tissue culture, and cloning) the artworks are produced in laboratories, galleries, or artists' studios. The scope of BioArt is a range considered by some artists to be strictly limited to "living forms", while other artists include art that uses the imagery of contemporary medicine and biological research, or require that it address a controversy or blind spot posed by the very…

Unknown Unknowns: The Milan Triennale

“Amy Karle grew bone on a bioprinted scaffold in the shape of a human hand. Made of biodegradable hydrogel, the scaffold eventually disintegrates allowing the human Mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs from an adult donor) seeded onto the design to grow tissue and mineralise into bone… In the perspective the Milan exhibition, the work suggests a future when we will be able to use 3D printing to “fix” the first humans on Mars. It also investigates who we could become if we exploit the full potential of biotechnologies.”

生成式和自治的艺术:对版权法有什么影响?

“我们不仅在与机器“争夺”版权,人与动物也有着新的共创关系。生物艺术(Bio Art)是人类与活组织、细菌、活体和生命过程相结合的艺术实践。艺术家在控制条件框架之下,让这些生物自行生长,交出发展方式的控制权。例如,艺术家Amy Karle利用人类干细胞的智力,创作出作品《再生的圣物》(Regenerative Reliquary,2016)。这是一个3打印的人类手骨架的形状,并将其浸泡在可生物降解的pegda水凝胶中。”

Atlas of Data Bodies 1: Body images in art, design and science in the age of digital media

“What fascinates Karle, especially with regards to the human body, is the contradictory potential of technology... In art, it is possible to negotiate inescapable questions as well as utopian and dystopian future scenarios. But how does the convergence, mixing and reconfiguration of organic and artificial bodies affect our definition of what it means to be human? In relation to the significance of illness, healing, and technology within her biography, Karle exposes philosophical lines and nodes around the human body and its fragility. Her works are hybrids that embrace artistic as well as scientific methodologies. As such, she can be described…

當代科技藝術的歷史化與關係辯證:「蓋婭:基因、演算、智能設計與自動機_幻我;它境」

“科學提供了關於真理的事實,藝術卻提供了關於真理的意義。當前者被藝術家應用、轉化成藝術形式之後,重點已不在於工具化的功能想像,更關乎藝術家如何跳脫嚴謹的邏輯辯證,省思與回應新的科學知識及科技技術對於文明的衝擊,且透過對審美跟精神性等的探究,顯現人類透過技術對於自身想像的「幻我」,以及嘗試打造的理想「它境」。… 卡爾(Amy Karle)則在三件作品中,進一步展示藝術對醫學身體與身體探測的轉化. 藝術家在將自身幻化為科技時代裡的「蓋婭」身影的同時,亦回望著人類演進的關鍵:人類之所以為人類,即因在遠古洞穴中創造了藝術,而創發了心靈活動。此一精神性的儀式可謂為「蓋婭」展覽的一樓展間,做了承先啟後的總結。”
