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. While highly concerned with aesthetic experience, the work simultaneously spans the thresholds of the social and the political, often utilizing specific cultural symbols from various social realms, as ‘quiet’, but potent elements in the work. As such, a singular element specifically charged in one context is expanded to reveal a macrocosm of inter-contextual narratives. In her performance work, Camille performs as a solo artist, with other musicians in selected projects, and with her ensemble, the Camille Norment Trio. The Camille Norment Trio, is comprised of the Norwegian hardingfele, electric guitar, glass armonica, feedback and electronics. 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 currently exhibits two large-scale commissioned installation works for the Dia Art Foundation, Chelsea, in New York which is accompanied by a public “constellation” series. She has also recently completed a commissioned permanent installation for the HL-Senteret in Oslo. Other commissions and upcoming work include the Armory, New York, Munch Museum in Oslo, Stavanger Museum in, and the Festspillene festival in Bergen.
