About the Artist Julia Reodica currently resides in California, USA. She is an art/science educator, practicing artist, and registered nurse. Her on-going work includes traditional art practices and/or the use of biotechnology to create art pieces that express social commentary and encourages public inquiry. Science-related work based on utilizing semi/living systems for exhibition was developed through work in art/science museums and institutions in the U.S. and internationally. In various publications and symposiums, her views on innovative muscle tissue sculpting and the social impact of scientific research have raised new ethical and aesthetic questions about the new "body" of art. Cultural research in-progress reflects upon social expectations that influence the communication of symbolic meanings pertaining to the body and its parts. Laboratory research considers evolving tissue culturing technology, cellular communication and the dynamics essential for survival in experimental growth environments. In her bioart work, the subject matter often arises from to these two main research interests. |
