BIO
Camilla Padgitt-Coles is a Brooklyn-based multimedia artist working with audio-visual installations and meditative music. Their practice explores the physiological and perceptual effects of light and sound, creating environments where carefully tuned frequencies invite meditative states and subtle shifts in awareness.
They have exhibited and performed in New York at Essex Flowers, Light & Sound Design, Sunview Luncheonette, Governors Island Flux Factory House, Roulette, Basilica Hudson, The Kitchen, and The New Museum, and internationally at DICE Festival (Germany), Spier Light Art (South Africa), Sonic Matter Festival (Switzerland), and Het Bos Festival (Belgium).
