The Georgia Tech Library partnered with interdisciplinary artist Dr. Bojana Ginn for the third installment of its Artist-in-Residence Program.
An awarded conceptual artist and former medical doctor, Ginn creates at the intersection of art, biology, medical sciences, and technology. She worked with the Library throughout the summer and into Fall semester 2024.
This year’s program, which focuses on a media Artist-in-Residence, is a collaboration between the Library and the Interdisciplinary Media Arts Center (IMA). It is funded by the Price Gilbert Jr. Charitable Fund and IMA.
“We are eagerly anticipating the art and experiences Bojana will bring to Tech’s students and the Library,” said Dean Leslie Sharp. “We expect she will deliver her unique vision to the Library’s spaces and technologies in new and exciting ways.”
Interested in the microscopic worlds of the body and environment in the age of digital and biotechnologies, Ginn explores human identity, mental health, AI and virtual reality, the techno-sphere, and trans-humanism.
“I am thrilled to embark on this incredible journey as a resident artist at Georgia Tech,” said Ginn. “The prospect of connecting with innovative, esteemed faculty and bright students fills me with boundless excitement.”
Ginn is known for installations that create a "soft space" for discovering the intimacies between humans and technology, a place where the technological and natural worlds connect.
“Being able to facilitate rich conversations and exchange ideas within this dynamic community is a dream come true,” said Ginn. “Moreover, the opportunity to explore and harness cutting-edge technologies opens endless possibilities for creative expression and experimentation.
“I can't wait to dive in, connect, and create new media installations that engage and inspire. This residency promises to be an exhilarating fusion of art, technology, and collaboration, and I am beyond grateful for the chance to be a part of it.”
