About

The body is a site where various forms of knowledge converge. This knowledge is a manifestation of the information that the body has gathered, conscious and unconsciously, in a reckoning with its sensory experiences, creating our sensory knowledge spaces.  Knowledge exists in bodies of sound, biological lifeforms, astronomical bodies, etc., pasts and futures, and the resonance of inherently shared experiences.

The work of multimedia artist Camille Norment is well known in both contemporary art and music.  Her extensive contributions fluidly span both fields in a multiplicity of forms including installation, composition, sculpture, drawing and performance.  Norment’s expended practice creates new knowledge emergent from sonic narratives, as somatic and cognitive experiences. 

Sound is a physical force that connects everything it its omnidirectional path. The term psychoacoustics names the study of sonic phenomena as it meets, interacts with, and is transformed by encounters with objects, structures and other bodies across time and space.  Camille Norment coined the term cultural psychoacoustics as a dynamic aesthetic and conceptual framework to probe and politicize various cultures of sonic investigation, particularly instances of sonic and social dissonance. Here, the sonic is not only sound listened to, but sound felt, and even imagined. Human and non-human bodies are activated through the resonance of empathetic narratives that emerge between the present, and a multiplicity of concurrent histories and futures. 

In her performance work, Camille performs as a solo artist, with other musicians in selected projects, and with her ensemble, the Camille Norment Trio, comprised of the Norwegian hardingfele, electric guitar, and glass armonica. Each of these instruments was once banned in fear of the psychological, social, or sexual power their sound was thought to have over the body, and the challenge they represented to social control.  Norment's live manipulation of sonic feedback is an ethereal fourth member, giving presence to a normally censored voice.  

Camille Norment exhibits and performs internationally over a span of 30 years, has several permanent public artworks, and appears in many public and private collections. Recent solo exhibitions include The Dia Art Foundation, Chelsea New York, Bergen Kunsthall, and The Venice Biennial of Art amongst others.  New composition commissions include the Borealis Experimental Music Festival, Ultima Contemporary Music Festival, The Munch Museum, and The Armory New York.
