Amy Karle is an artist who has always been fascinated with mysteries of the body.
(amykarle.com) Her recent work uses the building blocks of life: cells.
As an Artist in Residence at Autodesk Pier 9, Amy collaborated with scientists and technologists to create “Regenerative Reliquary,” a sculpture consisting of 3D printed scaffolds for cell growth in a bioreactor. The intention is that stem cells seeded onto these scaffolds will grow into bone.
She hopes that this project serves as a foundation for further exploration and opens conversations about the awe and mystery of life, transhumanism, synthetic biology, the future of medicine and implants, and things that could be made from the building blocks of life.
