About this event

Pioneers in Design is the IIDA Northern California Annual Chapter Event which honors pioneers from the design community who demonstrate innovation and inspiration. Our honorees have led novel efforts or breakthroughs in practice or implementation and have brought new understanding of the impact design can have on people from the individual to entire communities.

We’re proud to introduce this year’s pioneer! Amy Karle

What does it mean to be human in the age of technology?

The nexus of where digital, physical and biological systems merge.

Amy Karle is an internationally award-winning artist and designer who questions: What does it mean to be human? and Who can we become at this time when humans and technology are merging? Leveraging body-based investigation, science and technology, she creates works that offer a glimpse into how technology could be utilized to support and enhance humanity while making advancements in the technology towards those goals in the process.

CEU available, 1.0 credit
