Komal Goswami

KOMAL GOSWAMI (b. 2001, Gainesville, FL) is a new media artist specializing in 3D/CG generation, AI art, video, and sound, developing an experimental filmmaking and animation practice. She earned her BFA in Art + Technology with a minor in Theatre from the University of Florida, where she served as President of the Digital Arts Media Network and curated new media exhibitions like World Builders, Inc. and LAiZY ((Experiments in ARTificial Intelligence)). Goswami has exhibited at notable venues, including Superblue Miami and the Cade Museum, and was a Finalist at Alys Beach's 16th Annual Digital Graffiti.

Goswami's art investigates the concept of "living ON the hyphen," exploring identity, performance, and form of thought through a blend of Western and Indian media influences. Her 3D character-based world, The Hyphenverse, is a speculative world that blurs the lines between the digital and physical realms with the employment of self-insertion and emotional abstraction to determine the "real" from the "real-reel." Often utilizing AI tools like Stable Diffusion and Midjourney and creative coding practices for The Hyphenverse and her visual art, Goswami examines how "living ON the hyphen" can be authentic and artificial. Goswami is expanding her practice to create more music and experimental soundscapes, integrating these elements into her audiovisual works. Intrigued by the expansion of new media art practices and with research interests spanning digital aesthetics, surrealism, theatricality, performance, metaphors, and humor, Goswami’s work reflects her fascination with the evolving landscape of human expression in an increasingly digitally assimilated world.
