Marynes Avila
public art, installation, sculpture, drawing, digital photography, film, microscopy, neuroscience
Marynes is a Melbourne based, multidisciplinary artist concerned with social engaged practice. Avila holds a Masters of Arts -– Art in Public Space from RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia and has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Australia and overseas. Avila has been the winner of many art awards and the recipient of both national and international artist residencies. Avila implements the use of multiples as “data connectors” in the public realm. The artist’s oeuvre emerges from a tension between the organic and the mass production, always coming back to the idea of multiples as an analogy of people and the human condition. Avila works at the intersection of art and science, extending her ongoing research on multiples by incorporating the use of microscopy into her practice. Some of Avila’s most recent projects have been an artist residency in Ottawa, Canada and a residency at the Cataract Gorge Reserve in Tasmania, Australia. Avila’s next project combining neuroscience, microscopy and sculpture will take her to the Toolangi Forest, Victoria, Australia as an artist in residence at the prestigious 20th Anniversary Toolangi Sculpture Trial Event taking place in November this year.

Martin Calvino
new media, technology, genomics, biology
Martin Calvino is a new media artist and creative technologist exploring the intersection of algorithmic art and genomics. His work challenges the established forms of pictorial representation of the gene, using concepts of plant molecular genetics as raw material for geometric abstract art. He recently coined this form of artistic expression as GAGAISMO or Arte GAGAISTA (from Geometric And Genomic AbstractionISM).
I would like to connect with other artists using technology and with computational biologists and bioinformaticians.

Sarah Allen Eagen
bioart, sculpture, photography, installation, painting, biological processes, human biology, technology
Sarah Allen Eagen is a New York City-based artist originally from Toronto, Canada. She received her MFA from Parsons the New School of Design in 2013. Eagen’s artwork examines contemporary notions of beauty, obsession, identity, and intimacy. Inspired by technology, fashion, and the intersection of art and science, her work explores interpersonal relationships in the twenty-first century where intimacy is often replaced with immediacy. This theme has been an undercurrent in her work, as seen in her solo exhibitions Tender: Intimacy in the Digital Age and Anatomy of Desire. These exhibitions explore the sensual, vulnerable, and alienating aspects of the digitization of society. Feed Me Diamonds invites viewers to confront notions of narcissism, consumption, and instant gratification. Eagen’s artwork blurs the lines between artificial and real, comfort and discomfort, seduction and repulsion. In her artwork, made of silk, rubber, glitter, and wax, sensual forms are rendered clinical and are at once vulnerable and erotic.

Kay Hartung
biological processes, microscopy, microscopic imaging, neuronal processes, consciousness
Kay's work is related to her fascination with the microscopic world. She is inspired by the abstract organic shapes and intense color of the hidden world made visible in electron microscope photographs. She imagines the energy and interactions that go on in the body and the mind to produce action and thought. She is exploring the connections between science and art conscious of the profound effects that these minute biological forms have on the universe. The imagery in her artwork, loosely based on observation of biological structures, explores the interconnections of these cellular forms. The process builds layer upon layer suggesting growth, development and movement. Some of the pieces are in more of a static or restful stage whereas others explode with activity. Kay is interested in making connections with scientists and artists working with biological research.

Jarden J.A. Hastings
biology, bioinformatics, philosophy of science, temporal and spatial scales, biological processes, laboratory methods
J.J. Hastings' work focuses upon the intersection and interplay of art and science - from philosophy to praxis - merging scientific and artistic research. As an alumna of New York University, Harvard University and the University of Oxford (New College) with advanced degrees in both Biology and Bioinformatics, respectively, Ms. Hastings’ career in biomedical research spans over a decade. Through her practice, J.J. continues to develop new ways to translate academic laboratory methods into outcomes that challenge the normative views of science and art as discrete disciplines, moving them into new spaces for exploration. Her research is fundamentally an examination of the matter with which we are made at varied scales, from the sub-atomic to the interstellar, seeking to represent an evolutionary metamorphosis of the cosmos into myriad biological forms. Jarden is currently interested in collaborations with those in the fields of hematology, synthetic biology and astrophysics.

Sienna Morris
neuroscience, physiology, microscopy, atypical brains, brain imaging, medical research
My current line of study relates to the human body with a focus on the brain. Long term work will focus on atypical brains, but is currently focusing on organs of the body on an anatomy and physiology basis. I would particularly like to work with those in brain imaging, as well as those in the medical and research field. My work's mission is to share the beauty of science with others and to promote interest in scientific education in those who may not yet know that there is a place for them in the scientific community. Therefore connecting with STEAM education and charity groups looking to offer opportunities to bridge art and science would be great. I love to collaborate with scientists as well as fellow artists.

Laura Splan
biology, biosensors, bio feedback, data visualization, neural interfaces, medical imaging, scientific instrumentation, materials research, conceptual art
Laura Splan’s interdisciplinary artwork explores intersections of art, science, technology and craft. Her conceptually based projects examine the material manifestations of our cultural ambivalence towards the human body. Much of her work is inspired by experimentation with materials and processes (blood, biosensors, digital fabrication), which she mines for their narrative implications and untapped potentials. Her recent biofeedback data driven artworks use facial expressions and bodily movements to generate and affect forms. Laura would like to connect with scientists and artists who have shared interests and is looking for labs anywhere in the world to collaborate with.

Paz Tornero
biotechnology, genetics, microbiology, ecology, sustainability, connectivity
Paz Tornero is a professor, researcher, and artist from Spain and currently works as an invited professor at different universities in Latin America. She has been interested in cross-disciplinary studies her entire academic career. Since she arrived to Latin America, she has been collaborating with the Institute of Microbiology as a visiting researcher at the University of San Francisco de Quito, Ecuador, and she has been teaching Art and Technology classes in the Art Department. Working with the Microbiology Department, she has been developing an environmental ArtScience project which uses color changing bacteria from the environment as biomarkers to indicate the presence of specific pollutants. In the ArtScience field of study, Paz is developing a project about the lack of air quality monitoring we breathe, especially in industrial areas, and as result, the lack of information has fostered distrust between citizens and governments.

Mike Tyka
biotechnology, biological structures, computer science, sculpture
Mike studied Biochemistry and Biotechnology at the University of Bristol and went on to work on protein structure prediction (e.g. FoldIt and Rosetta@HOME) as a research fellow at the University of Washington. Mike became involved in creating sculpture and art in 2009 when he led a team of artists to great Groovik's Cube, a 35ft tall, functional, multi-player Rubik's cube. He's co-founded ALTSpace, a hacker space in Seattle, and started creating sculptures of protein folds. Mike currently works as a scientist at Google.
