Amy Karle

Amy Karle is an internationally acclaimed ultra-contemporary artist, bioartist, and futurist whose work explores the implications of frontier science and technology on humanity, evolution, and the future across scales and systems, from cells to space. Working across art, biotechnology, AI, computational design, regenerative medicine, and deep-time archives, she creates works that make ethical, existential, and civilizational questions tangible through form. Her practice bridges the biological and computational, asking who we are becoming through the systems we create and engage.

Karle’s work has been exhibited internationally at institutions including Ars Electronica, Centre Pompidou, MoMA, Mori Art Museum, the Smithsonian, and Triennale Milano, and extends to works on the Moon and in space. She has collaborated with leading scientists, engineers, and organizations including NASA, HP Labs, Autodesk, the Smithsonian Institution, and NVIDIA.

Named one of BBC’s 100 most inspiring and influential women, a Pioneer in Design, and one of the Most Influential Women in 3D Printing, Karle is a former U.S. Department of State AAI Artist Diplomat and was Artist in Residence at Copernicus Science Centre in Warsaw while serving as Artist Diplomat to Poland. Her first job was at a public observatory in Vestal, New York, where she began asking fundamental questions about space and witnessing the wonder it can awaken in people, an early experience that continues to inform her creation of embodied works that invite reflection on intelligence, life, identity, and culture on Earth and beyond. www.amykarle.com
