Born California, Made in NYC.

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.  

With a background in history and media, influences intermix within a hybrid terrain: the moving image, pop, technology, the public/street, poetry, performance and music. Many projects are immersive and interactive, where the recipient of structure can also be its producer.  The path is the destination.

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, Polar, and Ali Hossaini.

Carnes holds a BA in History from Pomona College and an MS in Integrated Digital Media from NYU Polytechnic. He is currently based in NYC.
