Carla Zimbler

As a video artist, Carla Zimbler manipulates 3D animation to blur boundaries and distort fragments of the natural world to alter mood and trigger emotional response. Working between physical/digital environments, audiences are coaxed inside immersive spaces where sound-responsive visuals expand, contract and melt into darkness. Carla is interested in the growth and decay of visual noise and the digital extrusion of organic material, in her live performances she bends and projection maps distorted manifestations across architectural curves and site-specific sculpture. Carla has developed and operated visuals for Dour Festival (Belgium), Distortion Festival (Denmark), LungA (Iceland), Field Day, Beyond The Valley, Festival X, VIVID and Sydney Opera House. Carla co-curated PACT Salon: SLURP!, launched ‘A Nice Warm Bath’ A/V Festival for Melbourne Music Week and co-founded Studio Tszuj where she has designed installations for ACMI, Mixcloud’s Future Rising, Boiler Room Sydney, Red Bull Music Festival, Inner Varnika, Something Unlimited and Hybrid Festival.

Carla, along with performance artist Megan Payne, will be working with Sui Zhen, the recipient of our 2020 Hi-Viz Short Work Commission.
