Ellen Levy

Ellen K. Levy is an American multimedia artist and scholar whose interdisciplinary work examines the intersections of art, science, technology, and the environment. Since the early 1980s, she has explored how scientific paradigms, complex systems, and environmental crises shape visual culture.

She has also explored how art-science collaborations have influenced social and political movements, encouraged environmental activism, and shaped contemporary art’s evolving role. She has long emphasized the growing interdisciplinarity of design, noting its integration across fields such as engineering, art, and technology, "often pursued by engineers, artists, and designers who are informed about technologies that didn't exist before." "Her studies on morphology, systems theory, and eco-catastrophe have positioned her among key figures bridging visual culture and scientific inquiry."

Levy works across various media, including painting, installation, and digital art, and has collaborated with institutions such as NASA and Leonardo, the International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology. Her research focuses on themes of form, matter, and eco-catastrophe in contemporary art. She has also contributed to scholarship on morphology, perception, and art-science intersections.
