Telfair Museums presents a solo exhibition by artist Bojana Ginn in conjunction with the 19th edition of the museum’s PULSE Art + Technology Festival. Ginn states that her works “operate between science and spirituality, where algorithms translate intimacy into wonder.” Her new interactive installation entitled Biometric Sublime transforms the rhythms of the human body into a living ecosystem of art. At its core is the heartbeat, translated into luminous video animations, therapeutic audio, and sculptural fiber elements that invite immersion and contemplation. A biometric sensor in the exhibition amplifies the viewer’s presence, turning each heartbeat into a visual expression. The rhythm of deepbreath is also encoded in the movements of the immersive video. Alongside the installation’s digital components, sculptural elements created from organic fibers such as sheep’s wool and jute will merge with sustainable synthetic materials, echoing themes of renewal and healing. Biometric Sublime is an aesthetic environment of well-being: intimate, futuristic, and profoundly human.

A recipient of the Ellsworth Kelly Award, Ginn’s work has been exhibited internationally, including the Venice Architectural Biennale and the Museum of Art and Design in New York, and she has held solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art, GA, and Atlanta Contemporary. Collaborating with scientific institutions such as NASA, Ginn’s impactful work resonates at the intersection of art and innovative research. Her ephemeral and site-specific installations often incorporate biological material such as sheep’s wool in combination with LED lighting, and digital video projections. A champion of sustainability, she was an artist in residence at Georgia Tech, Atlanta, where she used AI to visualize experiments with fungi that consume plastic.
