Professor Dr. Camille Utterback

Biography

Camille Utterback is an internationally acclaimed artist known for her innovative interactive installations and reactive sculptures that engage participants in a dynamic process of kinesthetic discovery and play. Her artistic practice explores the aesthetic and experiential possibilities that emerge from the linkage between computational systems and human movement and gesture, often in layered, humorous ways. Utterback's work addresses the continued relevance and richness of the body in an increasingly mediated world. Her artworks have been displayed in prestigious galleries, festivals, and museums across the globe, from the Frist Center for Visual Arts in Nashville to the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York and the Seoul Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her works are held in both private and public collections, including those of Hewlett Packard and the Itaú Cultural Institute in São Paolo, Brazil. Utterback is a recipient of numerous honors, including a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship and a Transmediale International Media Art Festival Award. Furthermore, she holds a patent for a video tracking system developed during her time as a research fellow at New York University. Utterback teaches at Stanford University, where she integrates her artistic exploration with academic involvement in the Department of Art & Art History and the field of Computer Science.
