Stephen Calhoun

Stephen Calhoun is a self-taught artist working in a variety of modalities, most prominently photography, mixed-process new media, digital cinema, generative art, stochastic art, sound design, and conceptual art. As an instrumentalist, sound designer, and composer, he produced ten recordings under the name Kamelmauz between 2001-2015. He took up procedural, generative digital art in 2003. In 2009, he began fusing photography with generative procedures. His experiments have focused on complexity, iteration, and symmetry since 2012. Calhoun incorporated diffusion technology into his iterative art practice starting in 2022. Partly a conceptual artist, Calhoun intends his work to magnetize projection, contemplation, and intuition. In 2025, he designed and facilitated participatory artworks. His intentions across the various modalities are centered on his lifelong research into experiential learning and 'art as experience.'

He has exhibited widely in juried, group, solo, and curated shows. Artworks are in over one hundred private collections.
