Georgia Tech Library Artist-in-Residence

Dr. Bojana Ginn’s work explores the potential for wellness in digital and physical spaces, using art as a transformative tool to advocate for healthcare as a fundamental human right. Her practice draws upon medical research on beneficial frequencies of light and rhythm, along with the psychology of color and shape, to craft experiences that nurture the mind and body. By layering medical and artistic concepts, she creates both physical and virtual spaces designed to enhance mental wellness and promote longevity. AI-generated forms, guided by the principles of parametric biology and biomimicry, are central to her work, reflecting a deep connection to nature while being informed by cutting-edge science   

In their physical renderings, the Orchid Dreams sculptures are built with a combination of recyclable acrylic and mycelium that consumes plastic. This plastic-eating mycelium represents a significant innovation for our future, providing a sustainable solution to the growing global plastic waste crisis. The specific fungi possess the remarkable ability to transform waste into non-toxic organic substances, significantly mitigating the environmental impact.  

The interactive video installation immerses visitors in the soothing rhythm of deep breathing, promoting relaxation, comfort, and focus. Its interactive elements respond to the audience’s biometrics—such as heart rate and oxygen levels—shaping the visuals on display. This dynamic interplay co-creates ethereal digital forms that invite viewers into a meditative space, fostering both reflection and emotional uplift.
