Seth Cluett
Seth Cluett is a visual and sound artist whose work includes photography, drawing, sculpture, video, sound installation, performance, and concert music. A native of Troy, NY he is currently pursuing his doctoral studies at Princeton University.His work is a comment on perception and nature. It is an examination of sound, light, weather, geology, and cognition. He uses dust, pigment, glass, sand, water, paper pulp, air pressure, and oxidation exposed to sound or light to show the potential of our senses. How does sound direct our gaze? How does light change how we listen? How do people use this knowledge for power and communication?
His work has been shown/performed at galleries, festivals, sound art venues, and concert spaces both traditional and alternative throughout the Americas and Europe. Seth's work is documented on Errant Bodies Press, Sedimental, Crank Satori, Boxmedia, and Wavelet records as well as upcoming releases on Kissy and Televaw records.
