Kamari Carter

Kamari Carter (b. 1992) is a sound designer, and installation artist
primarily working with sound and found objects. Carter’s practice circumvents
materiality and familiarity through a variety of recording and amplification
techniques to investigate notions such as space, systems of identity, oppression,
control, and surveillance. Driven by the probative nature of perception and the
concept of conversation and social science, he seeks to expand to narrative
structures through sonic stillness. Carter’s work has been exhibited at such venues
as Automata Arts, MoMA, Mama Contemporary, RISD Museum, Microscope Gallery, Lenfest
Center for the Arts, WaveHill and has been featured in a range of major publications
including ArtNet, Precog Magazine, LevelGround and WhiteWall. Carter holds a BFA in
Music Technology from California Institute of the Arts and an MFA in Sound Art from
Columbia University.
