Camille Norment

Multi-media artist Camille Norment’s work utilizes the notion of cultural psychoacoustics as both an aesthetic and conceptual framework. She defines this term as the investigation of socio-cultural phenomena through sound and music - particularly instances of sonic and social dissonance, and works through sound as a force over the body, mind, and society. Composing through forms including recorded sound, installation, drawing, and live performance, she applies this concept towards the creation of critical artworks that are preoccupied with the way in which form, space, and the body of the viewer create experiences that are both somatic and cognitive.

Camille Norment was born in Silver Spring, USA. She lives and works in Oslo.

Norment’s recent performances have taken place at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow, 2017; Montréal Biennial, 2016; The Armory Show, NY, 2016; Lisboa Soa Festival, 2016 and Ultima Contemporary Music Festival, Oslo, 2015.
