AT A GLANCE
Art under Examination
Joining art, science, and technology, interdisciplinary artist and
former scientist Bojana Ginn creates multimedia works that are
conceptually based in scientific
laws and expressed through artistic
elements: drawing in space, sound
and movement.

Created as a photographic exploration of her structures, “Liquid
Lines” is a body of work that further explores scientific concepts
expressed through three-dimensional drawing. By using the camera
as a microscope, the artist zoomed
into her own work, exposing the
unexplored world of synthetic
materials and their interaction with
light. As a result, Ginn discovered
the unforeseen dimensions of her
structures, which are revealed as
images of fluid lines and shadings.

Born and raised in the former Yugoslavia, Ginn graduated from medical school in Belgrade, Serbia in 2001.
After moving to the United States in 2002 she continued her career in science at the Wayne Rollins Research
Center at Emory University. Parallel to her scientific research, Ginn developed and pursued her lifelong interest in art, which grew from a primary passion into a new career. As a recipient of a Savannah College of Art
and Design’s Honors Graduate Scholarship, she completed her MFA in Sculpture at SCAD in 2013. Her art
has been exhibited in numerous Atlanta galleries, including the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia.
Right after completion of her graduate degree, Ginn was granted a studio space at the Studio Artist Program at
Atlanta Contemporary Art Center. She writes and lectures on the subjects of art and science, as well as on the
subject of women in art. Her work and writings on the connections between art and mathematics, and art and
biology have been presented and published in interdisciplinary publications such as Bridges Math Art Conferences, STEAM Journal, Art and Science Journal, and Leonardo’s Abstracts Database. For more info on Ginn and
