Alicia King is a Hobart based cross-media artist. In recent years she has been delving into the realms of biological technology at SymbioticA, the Art and Science Collaborative Research Laboratory, University of Western Australia, and the UTAS School of Medicine. King’s practice explores biological permutations in humans, animals and the wider environment, and alludes to that which generally lies outside of the everyday category of the ‘living’. In 2009 was awarded a PhD for "Transformations of the flesh; Rupturing embodiment through biotechnology", an artistic exploration of relationships between biotech practices and the physical, ethical and ritual body.

King has exhibited throughout Australia and beyond, and is recipient of numerous grants awards and residencies throughout Australia, Europe and Asia, with the generous support of The Australia Council for the Arts (OZCO), Arts Tasmania, and The Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT).

King is the 2010 recipient of the Rosamond McCulloch Studio at the Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris, and will also undertake Residency in the Galapagos Archipelago off the coast of Ecuador, South America.
