Daniel Landau is a multidisciplinary artist engaging in performance, video and installation work. During the Winter Quarter, Landau will teach “Art and Science of Virtual Reality” in the UCLA Department of Design Media Arts.

A major theme of Landau’s work is exploring the complex relationship between body and technology and the attempt to trace techno-political processes and their impact on social and private spaces. He investigates notions of body, time and identity through processing and abstracting social mechanism into building blocks of movement and voice.

Between 2012-2016, Landau led the Media Studies department at the Midrasha Faculty of the Arts, Beit Berl Academic College and he is currently a Senior Research Fellow at the Interdisciplinary Center, Herzlia. He is also the Co-Founder and Director of Oh-man, Oh-machine – an art, science and technology platform that includes an international conference, workshops and a research lab.

Landau completed his second degree in music composition and new-media at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague in the Netherlands, where he lived and worked for almost ten years.

His residency at UCLA is made possible thanks to the generous support from the Philip and Muriel Berman Foundation and the Israel Institute's Schusterman Visiting Israeli Artist Program. The Israel Institute is dedicated to enhancing knowledge and study of modern Israel.
