Norment works in the field of fine art and interaction design. Her cross-media work is occupied with the way the body is inscribed and reinscribed with meaning through its use of, and its negotiation with its surroundings. It engages the viewer in the work through its negotiations with architectural, optical illusory, sonic, and technically interactive environments and objects. With emphasis on manipulating the visual and sonic perceptual realms, she often evokes the uncanny through her manipulation of common experiences such as looking in the mirror and not seeing a reflection, or presents sensual experiences that seek to treat the entire body as a sensory organ, such as sound that can be felt by the body rather than heard by the ears.
Scientific research, city planning, interaction design, architecture, sound synthesis and production, and mobile computing are some examples of Norment’s activities.
