Bergsonist

Selwa Abd, originally from Morocco, is a NewYork based artist and musician. She holds a BFA in Communication Design from Parsons The New School for Design and is founder of the music platform: Bizaarbazaar. Under the guise Bergsonist (derived from Deleuze' s Bergsonism), she uses multiple mediums to investigate social resonance through divergent conceptual aesthetics (minimalism, techno, music concrete to name a few). Her practice utilizes her trained design sensibility to filter the objects of intuitive exploration, guided by an impulse to detach subjective meaning from found sonic fragments. Notions of identity, memory, social politics and the ambiguous long-term reliability/stability of our digital networks drive this process. She has performed at spaces such as Knockdown Center, Basilica Hudson, Witte De With Center for Contemporary Arts, Parsons Thew New School for Design, Museum of Fine Arts of Boston, Flux Factory, Issue Project Room, Spectacle Theater, Halcyon, Output, Brown University, Good Room and Boiler Room (Discwoman takeover). She has released several eps on labels such as Borft, Styles Upon Styles, Clandestine Records, Always Human and Where To Now. She has upcoming releases on Optimo (2018), Borft (2019), Styles Upon Styles (2019) and two unannounced labels. As well as self released Eps on her bandcamp.
