This week on First Coat we have Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya. Amanda is a multidisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, NY. She uses interactive installation, augmented reality, and bio design to create large-scale exhibitions that connect science and society. She recently had a solo exhibition, Connective Tissue, at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art in Nevada and is currently working on a multi-city public art series, called Findings, celebrating women and science.
I spoke with Amanda about her recent exhibition, her advice for doing community-based art projects, and how she transitioned to being a full-time artist. Enjoy!

Guest | Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya, Artist
Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya is an internationally recognized artist whose multidisciplinary practice uses interactive installation, augmented reality, and biodesign to bring science and society closer together. She is the founder of several large-scale collaborative initiatives, including The Leading Strand, which pairs scientists and designers to co-create works of art that translate scientific research; ATOMIC by Design, a science-positive fashion line and afterschool science & maker club for girls; and Beyond Curie, a dynamic portrait series of pioneering women scientists and mathematicians. Last year, she opened her solo exhibition of collected works at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, for which she received Special Congressional Recognition for the “use of art, technology and science to bring society closer together” from Congresswoman Susie Lee. And she most recently exhibited Community of Microbes at the Cooper Union in NYC. Her work has been recognized by Fast Company, NBC, and the New York Times. -- via Connective/Tissue
