Daniel Oduntan

Daniel Oduntan is an interdisciplinary media artist whose work spans sound, image, and installation, constructing subtle inquiries into how we witness place, time, and the everyday. Drawing on improvisation, media research, and live conduction, Oduntan creates performances that function as evolving systems rather than fixed works.

He is the lead artist and conductor of the Audio Visual Ensemble, an ongoing platform for live research that brings together musicians, visual artists, and technologists to experiment with sound, image, and memory in real time. The ensemble treats rehearsal as a public act and performance as a form of inquiry, using improvisation to catalogue lived experience and disappearing cultural narratives.

Oduntan’s work is concerned with phantom amnesia, the gradual erosion of personal and collective memory in an age of media saturation, regeneration, and accelerated artificial storytelling. Currently a Somerset House Assembly resident, Oduntan asks how we might preserve unfinished histories and resist the quiet rewriting of our own timelines.
