My Bio
Benjamin Priede is an artist, songwriter and musician. He holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto, as a Psychology Specialist, with a minor in Buddhism, Psychology, and Mental Health, where he wrote such papers as on the cognitive science of cinema, comparing cinema to the shamanic rites and rituals of engaging with ancient cave paintings. Visually, he experiments with multi-layered imagery through experiments in digital collage, photo montage, and oneiric painting, invoking ideas of terror and horror, melancholy and nostalgia, and the humour of the absurd through investigations of the Uncanny, the spaces of parallax between the Abject and the Sublime. His songwriting inhabits a similar thematic realm. He writes, performs, produces and records music as The Dada Das.
