About
Joey Holder is an artist working at the intersection of synthetic biology and internet aesthetics, dissolving the boundaries between these traditionally separate domains. His practice explores how digital culture and biological systems can inform and transform one another, creating work that challenges conventional categories of art, science, and technology.
Holder serves as Director of SPUR, a digital arts platform, and has established a significant institutional presence through major exhibitions at Harvard, the Venice Biennale, Transmediale, and the Design Museum.

His work provides a framework for understanding emerging practices that resist traditional disciplinary boundaries. By examining his actual artistic projects and curatorial vision, audiences encounter concrete examples of how synthetic biology and internet-native aesthetics intersect in contemporary practice, making visible the conceptual and technical questions that define cutting-edge cultural work today.
