Artist's/Professor's statement
My name is David Teng Olsen and I am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at Wellesley College. I am originally from Seattle, WA. I received my Bachelors of Fine Arts at the University of Washington and my MFA from University of Wisconsin – Madison. Before I entered graduate school I had the fortunate experience of studying in Rome and Taipei. As an undergraduate I spent over 5 years studying Bioengineering, which has a large influence on my artwork. During my time as a Bioengineer I illustrated and designed a Bioengineering text book that is now the required text for Bioengineering classes at Stanford, Berkley and UC Davis to include a few.
My goal is to continue to explore these relationships between science and art. I imagine creating many more of these visual environments that investigate and evolve from scientific and visual research. From these installations, I want a dialogue to occur between the fields of Science and Art, where today there is little to none. Both fields could only benefit from one another.
