About

Camilo Salas (Santiago, 1983) is a New York City-based Chilean Multi-Disciplinary Artist, Filmmaker, and Journalist.

At age 19, he co-created Disorder.cl, a recognized alternative web magazine, back when the internet catalyzed creative exploration. After getting a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism, he explored a variety of topics and genres, from politics and culture to music, in various print and digital outlets in Chile.

Since moving to the US in 2013 he’s been employed by Vice, CNN, Spectrum News NY1, Domestika US, Hunter College, and his work has been published by Vice, Mic, Fohla from Brazil, El Universal from Mexico, Covid Photo Museum, RVA Magazine, The Footlighter, Spotz Pix and Bushwick Daily, among others.

Camilo’s artistic practice explores technology, surveillance, and society. His work often reflects on our role in confronting and resisting the surveillance systems shaping contemporary life. Through his explorations, he seeks to provoke questions about freedom, autonomy, and the ethics of AI-driven oversight.

He has participated in group exhibitions, including Jukebox of Dissonance (2024), Prismas Project in Sao Paulo and Brooklyn (2024), and Novelty1 (2024), among others. In 2024, he was a resident artist at Woodward Residency in Brooklyn, NY. His first short film, “A Socialist Dream“, was selected for the CUNY Film Festival, and his short documentary “Computer Vision“, has been shown in Berlin, Germany, and New York City.

He currently runs Pan Flute Publishing Haus.

As of June 2023 he is an MFA Student in the Integrated Media Arts program, at Hunter College.

He lives in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
