Nicole Cohen is an American installation artist who works with video and new media in order to explore issues of how interior design and architecture reveals aspects of portraiture and identity. Her video works often include interiors from vintage magazines, period rooms, that reveal an intervention with technology of surveillance use or video projection overlay. She uses photography and creates a video animation on top of the past image.
She uses video to transform and alter interior designed and architectural spaces. She explores ideas of perception and surveillance through her projects. Her influences stem from film/cinematic theory and the physical experience of immersion.
