Amos Peled (based in NL) is a multidisciplinary artist, focusing on experimental music and technologies, audio-visual installations, video art, and performance art.
After his film and new media studies, Peled moved to the Netherlands where he graduated from the master’s program in ArtScience interfaculty from the Royal Academy of Art The Hague (2022).
During his master’s studies, Peled developed performance and installation works that explored the notion of doubt as an artistic and conceptual tool. Throughout this period an interest in focusing on the experiential conditions of the audience became dominant in his artistic practice. Namely, the works would be developed to expose the audience to subtle temporal perceptual gaps and to submerge their attention in the many different layers of their own subjectivity. In his thesis, titled "With a Shadow of a Doubt", Peled researched the conceptual significance of doubt as a means of shaping an artistic practice that is preoccupied with the question – what makes up the familiar?
His latest works are focused on themes such as medical technology, experimental sound technology, and the human body as an artistic medium. Peled works with these themes to challenge conventions and provoke reflections on the ordinary. His interest in the theme of medical technology comes from the experience of growing up in a hospital environment, where he observed first-hand the working processes of the medical system.
Recently, in his artistic project Phantom Limb (2023) Peled has been exploring the enigmatic and poetic relationship between a human being and the black box that is their interior through the use of a medical ultrasound machine. By deconstructing the hierarchical setup of the medical imaging procedure the artist attempts to democratize medical technology by playfully proposing a range of possible affordances of the device.
Peled’s works have been presented worldwide in a variety of festivals and venues. He is a member of four active music groups: THOMIM (Experimental, Noise), World Experience Centre (Tekno, Industrial, Hardcore), KARKAIT (Grindcore, Doom, Black Metal), Thelm Enose (Experimental, Industrial, Noise).
