Personal Bio
Camilla holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Oslo with a major in Comparative Religion. She specialized in New Religious Movements because she is intrigued with how people design and practice their religiosity in the modern world.
She moved to New York 2007 to go to acting school and has since graduating from the Stella Adler Studio of Acting been working as a freelance actress on various stages across New York City. After having spent the past eight years living the artist life, she is back in school, pursuing a degree in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Data Visualization at the CUNY Graduate Center. In the future she hopes to be telling the stories of data, as well as be telling stories on the stage.
Statement of Contribution
One of my goals for this project is to learn how to build and develop a digital humanities project from the ground up and I am excited to have the chance to bring this project to life. For the Lost Art Collective, I will act as a researcher and a database developer, building a digital catalog of artwork items using Omeka. I will also be creating visualizations through Neatline, a GIS based mapping software built into Omeka. Further into the project I will be designing and setting up a website for the project as part of our end product.

Looks like you’re wearing a lot of hats in the project’s development! I like the attention to the shifting roles you’ll play, though I imagine some of them might change a bit (for instance, designing the website might happen at the same time as you set up Omeka and decide on the kinds of pages/views you want the site to offer. As you think, down the line, about how you’d like your bio to represent you on the project’s website, you might consider adding some lines about how you came to be interested in the project’s subject matter and what gaps you see the project helping fill.
Thank you for the feedback. I will definitively rewrite the bio before the end of the project!
