Art/Talk: The World of Code/Art

The World of Code/Art will be hosted by Ellie Hayworth in conversation with Artist, Saya Woolfalk to discuss her other-worldly vision made possible through the application of technology and computer science.

About the Artist:

Saya Woolfalk

Saya Woolfalk (Japan, 1979) is a New York based artist who uses science fiction and fantasy to re-imagine the world in multiple dimensions. With the multi-year projects No Place, The Empathics, and ChimaTEK, Woolfalk has created the world of the Empathics, a fictional race of women who are able to alter their genetic make-up and fuse with plants. With each body of work, Woolfalk continues to build the narrative of these women’s lives, and questions the utopian possibilities of cultural hybridity.

Woolfalk is the recipient of numerous honors, awards, and commissions. She has delivered numerous public lectures at museums and universities throughout the United States including a recent TED X Talk. She is represented by Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects, New York and teaches in the MFA program at Yale School of Art as well as in the BFA and MFA programs at Parsons: The New School for Design.
