‘Karle: I have always thought about what humans and identity are, and how to express identity in a form that is visible to the eye and tangible to the touch. That's why my art is a very personal thing that exposes my inner self to others. ... "My greatest challenge is to explore the meaning of the body, to feel the interior of the body, and to express the body. Therefore, for me, fashion and bioart are techno…’ (translated)
Amy Karles’ latest collection showcases her fascination with a human body. Called Internal Collection, it is based on anatomy and – according to the description – “each garment is inspired by a different system of the human body: lungs, ligaments, and nervous system”.
"Human induced evolution can occur much quicker than natural evolution and we can’t undo things like genetic editing so this is where it takes the most conscious awareness… we can easily see the potential doomsday scenarios, but we can also see enlightened futures as well. I can see all these different kinds of futures that are available to us, and it’s really important that we choose and focus on the future that we want to achieve. We cannot always achieve that, but if we are working towards that, we can get a lot closer than if we are blindly going…
Debuting in Hong Kong for the first time, Youth Square in collaboration with Loftwork, presents the YouFab selected works exhibition, Imagination Manifests. In this exhibition, we have selected a special collection of works from all the winners and finalists of the YouFab Global Creative Awards, since its inception in 2012. With over 1,000 submissions from more than 30 countries around the world, these exhibited works exemplify that our ability to empower our own future is limited not by access to knowledge or technology, but only by our imagination.
"Art and science have become so separated, so divided. If you go back in time, to the Renaissance, to Ancient Greece, any center that had a boom of creativity had a boom of both art and science…" Bio-artist Amy Karle will present her "Feast of Eternity," a 3-D print of a human skull that utilizes crystallization mimicking cell growth, which will "represent the mystery, delicacy and preciousness of life.

… I’m either fighting an uphill battle or I’m doing it against all odds – maybe both” Amy Karle stated “We are at a very exciting time in history. 3D printing offers opportunities to create in new ways, for healing, enhancing and augmenting the body in ways we’ve never been able to before. I’m most excited about applying additive manufacturing with other technologies to medical uses… to heal and enhance our bodies, minds and beings. I get really excited about bioprinting because it holds the promise of being able to create organs and replacement parts out of a patient’s own…
Amy Karle … integrates mind, body and technology to create art and explore what it means to be human. “My work serves a platform to explore who we want to become; how are we going to use our technology to become the type of individual and society that we want to be? Especially when we are looking at artificial intelligence or genetic editing, where this human induced evolution can happen much more rapidly than the natural would. This could be a very concerning scenario so its important that we stop and think these scenarios through and employ these tools and…
The process of making art is like the process of exploring yourself. For me, it is one and the same. Making art is a process of exploring myself and the world around me, making sense of it in a way that is beyond the thinking mind… from a place of all of these stirred influences that made me into who I am… the stirred area of the collective unconscious too… when I’m creating my art, it’s not just for me, and it’s not just from me, it’s from a place that I can only articulate through creating art, and a…
The hauntingly beautiful object resembling a human skull was designed by bioartist Amy Karle with the idea of “healing and enhancing a future body.” ... “This exhibition explores mysterious and unpredictable artistic forms that serve to provoke how we think about the complex relationship between humans and their technology.” – Curator Joel Slayton. Karle’s work speculates a future where technology can heal and empower human beings. “The desire to enhance the body and find freedom by matching our physical and internal identity is an element of the human condition.” - Karle
Are artists better at predicting the future than scientists or policy-makers? Can more collaboration between art and technology help prepare societies for the future in an age of massive and rapid technological change? ... Amy Karle is exploring what it means to be human in a future where human bodies are enhanced by digital technology inside us. “Many people think of technology as something outside of ourselves like a computer or a robot but I think of technology as something we can embody in ourselves to be more human … like a pacemaker, we’re seeing this life that has been…
“We are on the cusp of a new renaissance,” declared transmedia artist Amy Karle in the opening conversation. “As we cascade into the fourth industrial revolution, we have the tools and technology to take on an identity that is aspirational—we can become anyone we want to be, individually, and as a society.” Amy Karle’s work questions what it means to be human in a world where technological advancements allow us to unlock boundless human potential. Positioning her work as artifacts of a speculative future, where biological, physical and digital systems merge, Karle uses art and technology as a mirror to…
Change can be both frightening and exhilarating. Amy Karle, a transmedia artist and designer believes we are at an exciting time in history... she suggested the many technological advancements taking place indicate we are on the “cusp of a new renaissance.” ...She said, “Working together with art and technology, we can make sense of the future.”
In times characterized by complexity, disruption and an unprecedented speed of change, uncertainty about the future is staring us in the face. While some relish the unknown, believing in the “art of the possible,” others struggle to embrace the future with confidence. Societal, economic and cultural divides present wildly different ideas about the future our collective humanity faces. Making sense of what lies ahead will become ever more important as global issues, such as climate change, and the ethics of technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence, transform daily life.
(4 Articles) The winners of the prestigious YouFab Global Creative Awards organized by Fabcafe Global have been announced. The grand prize was awarded to "Regenerative Reliquary" by American bioartist Amy Karle. The piece is both an artwork of refined aesthetics and an illustration of technological developments in cell culture and 3D-printing living matter… a very sci-fi installation for growing human tissue inside a bioreactor-incubator. Beyond the aesthetics of a luminous hand submerged in nurturing fluid, the concept could also be applied to personalized medical prosthetics, grown from the patient’s own body cells... It is a work which explores the meaning…
“The more we practice the more we specialize. When we inquire or work in the same area of focus, we develop a way of doing things, a signature style and an expertise. This knowledge not only resides in the area of the brain that can be thought of or expressed in language. It also resides in our bodies and our emotions, and in our kinesthetic expression. It affects how we do things and the energy that we bring to those tasks.” – Amy Karle
Amy Karle's work is recorded in this Bio Art movement and does not settle for creating a meeting between human body and advanced technologies, for making them coexist but she is establishing them in unison in symbols of an enquiry we could qualify to be anthropological. The match between biotechnologies and the body are asking questions about our connection to our humanity. Her work is not only innovative because it suggests ideas which could be directly applied to body's reconstructive surgeries, but also because it can serve as a springboard in raising self-awareness.
“The point we are at in our human evolution now is the merging of humanity and technology. These TV shows that show interacting with Robots is a future case scenario that really isn’t that far off… the Artificial Intelligence component of that is to learn what your preferences are, to speak into your ears and look into your eyes in a way that would make your heart flutter”- Amy Karle
