Art Night: Performance-lecture med Camille Norment

The work of multimedia artist Camille Norment is well known in both contemporary art and music in Norway and internationally.  For this event, she will present a performance lecture in three “voices” that combines some of her music, art, and curiosities. 

Camille Norment’s extensive contributions spans both fields in a multiplicity of forms including installation, composition, sculpture, drawing and performance.  Norment’s expended practice creates new experiences emerging from sonic narratives, combining the somatic and cognitive.

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, bodies and minds across time and space.  Camille Norment coined the term cultural psychoacoustics as a dynamic aesthetic and conceptual framework to probe and politicize the 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.
