Mari Amman is a global artist based in Norway. Her research in history, science, built environments, psychology, resonance and somatics is realized in images, installations, poetry, performance, paintings, sculptures, videos and design. 'Sublime Rheology' and 'Geologic Empathy' became important terms in her interest in Platonic Idealism to reveal multi-layered understandings in relation to place, memory, embodiment, surfaces, technology, mortality, violence and subjectivity.

She is an EIT Expert Culture Reviewer, collaborating on projects with professionals in music, science, architecture and culture. Her interest in art and science grew from being raised near the Agonic Line, surrounded by forest and prairie reserves, a nuclear power plant and industrial agriculture. Ancestors with political activist Ellen Ammann and landscape artist Harriet Sundström motivated auto-ethnographic research after moving from the US to Norway, while her critical understanding of geopolitics and background in design and marketing continue her social psychology research. Foundations in philosophy, music and performance combined with research into parietal aspects of perception guide her investigations into the implications of ethics and morality in the use of the imaginary to influence the real.
