Carolyn Angleton
Prototypes/Sculptural Artworks/Art-Based Research Practices/Templates/Protocols
Affiliations: SacBioArts, an art/science studio & ARC-BAC, a synthetic biology and art collaborative.
Current work investigates how biological color and variegation are produced in plants and bacteria, and how these patterns can be recorded, manipulated and synthetically designed. She holds a MFA from Rhode Island School of Design in sculpture, a BFA in printmaking from Colorado State University, and is currently a biotechnology student at American River College in California. Her artworks have been exhibited in the US, Asia and Europe. She is a speaker on issues of aesthetics and the potentials of synthetic biology, designs art/sci curriculum protocols that integrate creative practices with research methodologies, and organizes/moderates panels on the global community biolab movement. She is a co-founder of the American River College Biotechnology and Art Collaborative (ARC-BAC), and director of SacBioArts.
Ms. Angleton serves as an organizer for the MIT Biosummit, a yearly gathering of international community bio labs. She was chair of the Bio Art and Design Track for the 2020 online 4.0 summit, and a pod leader for the Global Community Biofellows Initiative. She has developed the Co-Evolutions committee, designed to document and share community bio events happening world-wide.
