KOMAL GOSWAMI

KOMAL GOSWAMI (b. 2001, Gainesville, FL) is an artist who "lives in the hyphen." Primarily working in video, sound, 3D/CG generation, and generative art practices, creating audio, visual, and audiovisual experiences.

Often drawing from both Western and Indian media, her research interests encompass digital aesthetics, dreams, filmmaking, music, theatricality, performance, and humor. Komal Goswami’s work overall reflects her fascination with the evolving landscape of human expression, meaning, and thought in an increasingly digitally assimilated world. As a result, The Hyphenverse, Goswami's long-term 3D character-based series, serves as a speculative world that distinguishes between the "real" and the "reel" worlds through the use of self-insertion and emotional abstraction to explore "living in the hyphen." 

Komal Goswami earned her BFA in Art + Technology with a minor in Theatre from the University of Florida (UF) in 2023, where she served as President of the Digital Arts Media Network and curated new media exhibitions such as 2G00DHOTD@MN.V4 at 4Most Gallery (Gainesville, FL) and LAiZY ((Experiments in ARTificial Intelligence)) at the Constance and Linton Grinter Gallery (Gainesville, FL). In the final year of her undergraduate studies, Goswami was nominated for the 34th Annual University Student Exhibition at the Atlantic Center for the Arts and was a recipient of the E. Robert Langley Scholarship Fund as well.

Her artwork has been exhibited at the Cade Museum for Creativity & Invention (Gainesville, FL), Gary R. Libby Focus Gallery (Gainesville, FL), 621 Gallery (Tallahassee, FL), and The Art Department (Renfrewshire, Scotland), among others. Screenings include the 2nd Annual Chroma Art Film Festival at Superblue Miami (Miami, FL), the Computer Art Congress 8 at the National University of La Plata (La Plata, Argentina), the 16th & 18th Annual Digital Graffiti at Alys Beach (Panama City Beach, FL), among others. Her artwork has also been published in Labocine and Hu Magazine.

While continuing to create new solo and collaborative artwork, Goswami is writing further about conceptual frameworks discovered within her artistic practice and also serves as the Administrative Assistant for her alma mater, the UF School of Art + Art History.
