Seth Indigo Carnes is a conceptual media artist whose works focus on the creation of emotive experience and spiritual goods. His works explore the boundaries that permeate contemporary society: high / low culture, private / public, self / group, nature / machine. Many projects are immersive and interactive, where the recipient of structure can also be its producer.
At the Re/Mixed Media Festival, Carnes will show a tracing study from ORE, a live cinematic performance project by Seth Indigo Carnes that mines seminal video and sound works of the 20th century to generate new narratives for the 21st. This tracing is titled "Total Disintegration", focused on 1920s avant-garde works by the likes of Man Ray and Fernand Leger.
Carnes’ past exhibitions include P.S. 1 MOMA, The Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, White Box (NY), Emily Harvey Foundation (NYC), Witzenhausen Gallery (NY) Fountain Art Fair (Miami), Lund 2014 (Sweden), The Drop (NYC), the luggage store (SF), Martin Showroom (Napa Valley), 39 Hotel (Honolulu).
He has shown or performed work at Ars Electronica, Oberhausen Film Festival, Resfest, South by Southwest (SXSW), the Napa Valley Wine Auction, Pirineos Sur, and the Cinema Paradise Film Festival.
Past work includes collaborations with: Paul Miller (DJ Spooky), Shepard Fairey, The Roots, Thierry Geoffrey, David Ellis, Douglas Rushkoff, and Polar.
