What is Meet Sputniko!, the artist changing how we experience science through art about?

OIST's first exhib ition by a visiting artist transforms data on coral reef health into a thought-provoking artistic experience . Hiromi Ozaki, known by her artist's name, Sputniko! , is a Japanese British artist combining art and technology to explore social issues. Her work integrates scientific concepts and emerging technologies to question perspectives and highlight important social and environmental issues . OIST science writer Merle Naidoo recently interviewed Sputniko ! for the OIST podcast. Sputniko ! frequently collaborates with scientists, as seen in her project titled " Red Silk of Fate " involving bioengineered silk that combines genetic engineering with cultural mythology. Inspired by Asian mythologies about a red silk line that connects two people who are destined to be together, she collaborated with Prof. Hideki Sezutsu from the University of Tokyo , who also serves as the Research Director at the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) , to create genetically engineered red silk that contains the "love hormone" oxytocin. In this podcast episode, Sputniko ! discusses the beginnings and challenges of her artistic journey, explaining how science and technology have become central themes in her work. She also shares the inspiration behind her latest exhibition, " Coral Colors ," which was on display at the OIST Tunnel Gallery from November 29 to January 9.
