Nina Sellars is an artist and Research Fellow at the Alternate Anatomies Lab, School of Design & Art, Curtin University, Perth, Australia. Sellars describes her artwork as focused on "human anatomy and its symbiotic history with arts and technology."[1] Sellars is also an Adjunct Lecturer at the Department of Anatomy & Developmental Biology, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia and the Project Manager for Immersive Environments at the School of Design & Art, Curtin University, where she designs augmented reality/blended reality teaching spaces that are informed by visual arts practice.[2]

Sellars' installations, such as her 2009 work Anatomy of Optics and Light, aim to highlight relationships between light and the anatomical body.[3][4]

Sellars' work has been featured in analyses of science-inspired artwork.[5] Sellars has collaborated extensively with fellow artist Stelarc, as in their 2005 biomaterials installation Blender[6] and in Oblique: Images from Stelarc's Extra Ear Surgery, which consists of Sellars' photographs of Stelarc's unusual body modification.[7] A group exhibition that featured this piece, Art & Science: Merging Art & Science to Make a Revolutionary New Art Movement at GV Art Gallery in London, received an exhibition review in the scientific journal BMJ.[7] She was also featured in the group exhibition Human+ at the Trinity College Science Gallery in Dublin, which was discussed in scientific journal Nature.[8]
