About

Chalet Comellas views the studio as a space for structured indeterminacy, where intuitive gestures and systematic frameworks coexist to create a host of conceptual projects. Her work is interdisciplinary and at times collaborative, working across installation, sculpture, painting, video, and sound. Within her practice she explores methods of computational abstraction and ways that technology can intersect with a range of psychological, cultural, and healing practices, creating works that reflect futurist ideas about shared experience and the collective unconscious. Employing elements of chance, randomness, and generative processes, her multimedia and text-based works evoke conversations on the importance of “human-in-the-loop” systems and the ever-growing presence of non-human intelligences in our daily lives. In addition to her studio practice, Comellas is an educator and co-founder of Unrequited Leisure, a collaborative curatorial project focused on new media art and visual culture.
