KOMAL GOSWAMI (b. 2001, Gainesville, FL) is a new media artist who specializes in 3D/CG generation, AI art practices, digital imaging, programming, sound, and video and is also developing an ongoing experimental filmmaking and animation practice.

Along with being intrigued by the emerging practices of conceptual notions and installation practices for new media art, the notion of “living ON the hyphen” as well as theatricality and performance continue to be questioned through Goswami’s current artistic research. She continues to build her 3D character-based world known as “The Hyphenverse,” explore more AI art and creative coding practices, and make more video art and sound art.
