Although Amy Karle’s project, Regenerative Reliquary, pushes the boundaries of modern stem cell research, it also raises some crucial ethical and philosophical questions about the use of stem cells. Is it acceptable to swap our organs with designer organs? Should we be required to have regular organ replacements to elongate our lives? Should we be allowed to have more than four limbs?
Aside from artificial enhancements to the body, 21st century developments into stem cells have also led some artists to create use organic material in their work. Amy Karle is a bio-artist who has dedicated much of her work to using medical technology to enhance the human body. In her Regenerative Reliquary project, she 3-D prints the design of a hand using stem cells that grow into bone cells. In doing so, she raises some very important questions regarding growing human material outside of a human and the possibility of enhancing the human body organically and not just artificially… From this,…
The aim of this article is to present art & science projects involving electroencephalography (EEG), and study them in terms of relationships between artistic narratives and medical procedures. Discussed are the works by pioneers of EEG applications in art (David Rosenboom, Alvin Lucier) and by contemporary artists (Lisa Park, Amy Karle), who are mainly interested in performances and relational installations. The author of the text analyses the projects with reference to the concept she introduces - biomediation (derived from Eugene Thacker's theory of biomedia and a concept of mediation developed by Joanna Zylinska and Sarah Kember), pointing to the post-…
“From a young age, I was really cognizant of life and death and this fine balance between what it means to be alive, and this is both biological and medical, butt there is also this whole other realm of what it means to be alive that is beyond what we can measure…...
“no matter what tools or complexity goes into [making the artwork]… the art has to be able to capture someone’s emotions when they look at it… so whatever happens in the process - if advancements are made or not – if the science and technology can be used or not - it still functions to inspire this hope and this thinking of enhancing humanity for the better.” – Amy Karle
“Amerykańska artystka Amy Karle wykorzystuje proces neurofeedbacku do eksploracji własnej przestrzeni mentalnej, czyniąc ze swoich projektów rodzaj somatycznej, afektywnej autoetnografii. ... W kolejnych projektach Karle skupiła się przede wszystkim na parametryzacji elektroencefalograficznej, próbując nadać wizualną, materialną formę swoim przeżyciom, kreując rodzaj artystycznej eksploracji świadomości… Projekt Karle wyraźnie wpisany jest w perspektywę dążeń transhumanistycznych nie tylko w przywołanym kontekście.... a ideą pracy jest próba stworzenia hybrydycznej przestrzeni, kreowanej w czasie rzeczywistym, w której dochodzi do monitorowania, ale i transcendowania świadomości poprzez połączenie jej za sprawą cyrkulacji impulsów z systemem informatycznym. Nie tyle chodzi więc o klasyczne, protetyczne, z ducha cybernetyczne poszerzenie…

Today, in the digital age, creation takes place in a new interaction with the field of life sciences, neurosciences and synthetic biology. It is matter itself that is being explored. Biotechnologies are now used as a medium by artists, designers and architects. If digital tools for generative simulation allow the re-creation of life, the question today is: how can we program life? Exhibition featuring work by Amy Karle. (translated)
“Art is about visions, about future ideas, and poses possibilities… The outcomes of artsciecne collaboration… can be envisioning futures or questioning ideas, or making completely new statements… Amy Karle explores the meaning of being human and the human condition. She is specifically interested in the ways humans and technology are merging and how to use InfoTech and biotech to empower humanity and society… the artwork represents an artist’s future vision but does not give immediate answers. It asks questions and encourages next steps in scientific development…”
This research proposes a theoretical study in the field of computer art, and discuss the relations between art and the computational technologies. Through a comparative study of the definitions of computer art, some essential notions, that qualify this field of research, are presented. Furthermore, a set of computer art works, presented in a chronological perspective, is analyzed. A discussion on the circuits of computer art completes this research, raising questions about its cataloging and conservation… FILE of the year 2017, for example, included garments created with digital manufacturing technologies by American Amy Karle. According to the official website, the main…
“La Fabrique du Vivant”, in partnership with IRCAM, examines the mutations of the concept of nature, inseparable from technological production. The exhibition traces an archeology of life and artificial life. Resolutely prospective, it presents the most significant creations and innovations in the field of art, design and architecture through the works of fifty or so creators, including Amy Karle.
Sciences and technologies are extending design fields, modifying materials and everything that surround us, even our body, redefining on a perceptive level the boundary between things and us. The contributors to the book come from many and diverse disciplines (medicine, biotechnology, engineering, art, anthropology, architecture and design), by which design thoughts are fed… A strong example is the Regenerative reliquary (2016) by media artist Amy Karle. She grows bone along a biofriendly 3D printed lattice using medical CAD and human stem cells, using 3D scan data of bones from the California Academy of Science’s collection and then rendering the data…
Under a set of sophisticated bangs styled like Blade Runner, big blue eyes scan us. Are they dreaming of electric sheep? Amy Karle, an artist with a purposeful Android look, shares with Ridley Scott more than just a taste for wavy hairstyles. The universal and timeless question from a 1980’s futuristic thriller is the basis of Amy Karle’s work: what defines humanity? More precisely, can technology redraw human lines? Can we change the structure of our bodies? Can we recreate the living? Amy Karle promotes the improved human, her creations and performances composing the kaleidoscope of possibilities for a cyborg…
“«Nous vivons une quatrième révolution industrielle, où les humains et la technologie fusionnent. Il nous faut choisir ce que nous souhaitons devenir, et donc définir la place que nous donnons à la technologie!», explique Amy Karle depuis sa ville de San Francisco, juste avant son départ pour la biennale d'art de Pékin (BMAB 2018). Bio-artiste, c'est-à-dire qu'elle intègre la biotechnologie à ses œuvres, la jeune femme cultive des tissus organiques et s'aventure parfois vers le machine learning (apprentissage automatique).”
