Camille Norment is an internationally celebrated multimedia artist known for her gripping multisensory projects. Her practice spans a wide range of art and music forms, including installation, sculpture, drawing, composition, and performance. Her work is informed by the concept of cultural psychoacoustics, a framework she developed to probe and politicize experience through sound, including the interplay of sonic and social dissonance. Norment is particularly recognized for her critical and spellbinding performances on the glass armonica and with sonic feedback, as well as her compositions for voice.
Her extensive performance history includes commissions by Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, the Venice Biennale, and Festspillene i Bergen (FiB) — where she was the first artist to both exhibit as the Festival Exhibition Artist and simultaneously be commissioned to compose and perform during FiB. She has also performed at The Armory, New York; Dia Art Foundation, New York; The Munch Museum; The Studio Museum in Harlem; and Ultima Contemporary Music. Norment has collaborated with acclaimed musicians and composed film soundtracks.
Among her numerous accolades, Norment received the prestigious Nam June Paik Award in 2023 and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Bergen in 2024 for her artistic practice.
