About


Carol Camp, b. 1995
Turin, Italy


I'm Carol Camp, a mixed-media artist exploring the visual experience of time. Through manipulated photography, video art, painting, and poetry, I fragment and reassemble moments to challenge how we perceive memory and reality. My background in filmmaking informs my investigation into the interplay between stillness and motion, presence and absence.

Generative AI & The Environment


I believe that the rise of AI is a reality to be engaged with, not ignored. As an artist exploring its possibilities, I am committed to using AI responsibly and advocating for its sustainable development. It's crucial to me that tech companies are held accountable, and I actively seek more transparency on their sustainability efforts.

In my artistic practice, I strive for efficiency and mindfulness when working with AI:

  • I carefully refine my prompts to reduce the number of generated outputs.
  • I prioritize less energy-intensive AI models. 
  • I offset my monthly carbon usage through UNDO, a UK-based carbon removal project that permanently removes CO2 from the atmosphere by spreading silicate rock on agricultural land. This is a science-backed method for mitigating climate change.

I have been vegetarian since the age of 13, understanding the significant environmental impact of animal agriculture. I support and donate to Meat Free Monday, a campaign that encourages plant-based eating to benefit the environment, animals, and human health.
