22faced

22faced is the pseudonym of a contemporary multimedia artist and musician, active since the early 2010s, whose work spans music, video, and live performance. The project is known for its anonymity, with public appearances often incomplete or masked, and for presenting works as cohesive multimedia experiences rather than standalone pieces.

The practice combines electronic sound design, experimental sampling, glitch aesthetics, and cinematic visuals. Works commonly integrate modular synthesizers, digital video, found footage, and interactive or audience-responsive elements. Releases and performances have circulated through independent platforms, galleries, and festival circuits around the world.

Themes center on identity, perception, memory, and the relationship between technology and human experience. The presentation often emphasizes non-linear narratives and ambiguous symbolism, inviting active interpretation from the viewer.

Discography and exhibitions are distributed across a range of formats, including limited-run releases, online streams, and site-specific installations. The project has developed a following within experimental music and contemporary art circles and has influenced a number of younger artists exploring similar intersections of audio and visual media.

Due to anonymity, biographical details are sparse, and the project’s line-up or collaborators have not been consistently disclosed. Critics have generally described 22faced as a significant, if opaque, voice in the contemporary experimental scene.
