BioDigital Organisms, by Salzburg Global Fellow Amy Karle and on display until the end of 2026 in the González Lounge, explores organism-like systems evolving in silico through the convergence of biological principles, computational design, and artificial intelligence. Generated through processes informed by developmental biology and evolutionary systems, these works examine the shifting boundary between what we call “natural” and what we call “artificial.” Presented together, the series invites reflection on how biological logics may be translated into computational form, and on how new hybrid systems may reshape our understanding of intelligence, evolution, and the future of design.

Amy Karle is an internationally recognized ultra-contemporary artist and designer working across digital, physical, and biological systems. Her work explores how frontier science and emerging technologies reshape life, intelligence, evolution, and what it means to be human, from cells to societies, from quantum phenomena to the cosmos, and from the present into deep futures.
