“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…
"Amy Karle (born 1980) is an American artist, bioartist and futurist. She creates work that looks forward to a future where technology can support and enhance the human condition. She was named in BBC's 100 women, as one of the 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world for 2019. Her work questions what it means to be human, with an emphasis on exploring the relationship between technology and humanity; particularly how technology and biotechnology impacts health, humanity, evolution and the future. She combines science and technology with art and is known for using live tissue in her works.…
"Amy Karle is an American bioartist who has ventured into 3D sculpture, performance and even fashion with designs made in the likeness of veins, arteries and internal organs of the human being."
The internationally recognized American bioartist explores the relationship between the human body, science and technology. The bioengineering and genetic modifications could eliminate deformities and diseases, but also irreversible and could permanently alter our species. The promise of bioprinting and creating replacement parts offers hope to those in need of transplants, but could lead to significant lengthening of life and post-human body shapes and functions. These are all ethical concerns that the work raises for Karle. "We must ask ourselves who we want to become to determine how to create and harness these technologies to build a better future for all of us," she concludes (translated)
The BBC has revealed its list of 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world for 2019, and Artist Amy Karle is on it. This year 100 Women is asking: what would the future look like if it were driven by women?

They give us their vision of what life could look like in 2030. Born with a rare condition, Amy Karle grew up fascinated by the…
Hyundai announces the opening of an art exhibition at its three Motorstudio centers as a tribute to technological development and the relationship between humans and machines.
Karle uses what she considers “exponential technologies,” where she includes additive manufacturing technologies “because it has the potential to create more organically, more like the intelligence of how nature is formed and grows.” For this artist the use of new technologies allows her to get much closer to the forms of nature.
Smart fibers developed through technology, sustainable materials and processes will not be a utopia. Although it seems impossible, clothing that removes its spots on its own or even prevents acne is a reality, as well as are materials from less polluting biological fibers. These are the most outstanding innovations in the industry: … Amy Karle has already explored silhouettes and sartorial constructions through an artifact that seems distant to many. (translated)
"Mind, body, science and technology are synonyms for art for the American Artist Amy Karle, who with her creative processes has created a new category: bioart.” (translated)
‘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)
Interesting results are anticipated [from Karle’s piece Regenerative Reliquary], although it will probably take years to see them, but this type of development is what anticipates the relationship between 3D printing and the organs of the future. (translated)
