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 earning a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism, he explored a wide range of topics and genres—culture, technology, music, politics—across various print and digital outlets in Chile.
Since moving to the US in 2013 he’s been employed by Vice, CNN’s Great Big Story, 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, Spotz Pix, Bushwick Daily, Precog Magazine, Galio, among others.
As of January 2026, he is an MFA graduate of the Integrated Media Arts program, at Hunter College.
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), Novelty1 (2024), ~80 μA: Connecting the Body Electric (2025) in Brooklyn, among others. In 2024, he was a resident artist at Woodward Residency in Brooklyn, NY. In 2026 he was selected for the Onassis ONX Summer School in Athens, Greece.
His debut short documentary, A Socialist Dream, was selected for the 2024 CUNY Film Festival in New York. His follow-up, Computer Vision, was part of the Official Selection at the 2025 Films of the Future Festival in Santiago, Chile. The film also screened in Berlin, New York, and was featured in the 2025 Visions du Réel Film Market in Nyon, Switzerland. His third short documentary, I Know You Are Watching, was selected for the 2026 CUNY Film Festival in New York, and Panoptic Film Festival in Spain.
He currently runs Pan Flute Publishing Haus and lives in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
