Hadi Jamali is an Iranian-born intermedia artist based in Tiohtiá/Montreal. He holds both a BFA and MFA in Intermedia Art—specializing in Video, Performance, and Electronic Arts—from Concordia University, Montreal, and a background in Visual Communications from Science and Culture University in Tehran. Hadi’s practice encompasses visual and time-based media, focusing on spatial arrangements, mixed materials, and interactive installations.
Jamali’s research and creation rely on recuperating images, words, sounds, and marginalia from archival or historical documents. His most recent work uses spatialized sound and moving images to examine the link between dominant visual traditions and varying registers of contemporary (dis)location: not only geographic but also cognitive, temporal, and moral.
