Camille Norment: Plexus
Throughout her career, Oslo-based multimedia artist Camille Norment has explored what she has termed “cultural psychoacoustics,” focusing on the sociocultural valences of three tones: the bell, feedback, and the sine wave. Building on the titular exhibition at Dia Chelsea, Camille Norment: Plexus, the first US publication on the artist, unpacks those sonic phenomena, which together resonate with discrete yet overlapping ideas of time, spirituality, and the drone (bell); the decentralization of power, political struggles, and cybernetics (feedback); and purity and transcendence (sine wave). With an innovative all-vellum design, the book translates Norment’s sonic sensibility into print form. In addition to a conversation between Plexus curator Kelly Kivland and the artist herself, the volume features contributions from curators and scholars Legacy Russell and David Toop, as well as a poem extracted by Norment from a conversation she conducted with Fred Moten.
