Matt is the artist working on the FACT residency produced in partnership with DaDa and Lucid Games. These artist residencies are part of our commitment to supporting emerging artists working at the intersection of games, culture, art and technology. All four artists are in the early stages of their careers and are based in the North of England. The residencies will provide a unique opportunity for the selected artists to develop their practice, create new work and display their artworks in Art Plays Games (on display until 27 April 2025). The selected artist for the DaDa residency will also have the opportunity toshowcase their work as part of DaDaFest International in March 2025.
Matt’s practice explores dreams, reality and anxiety. His work sits between video games, live performances and visual art, having previously created artworks for performances, live art events and festivals. As a disabled artist making work about his lived experience, Matt’s practice draws upon autobiographical material to create interactive artworks. For this residency, supported in partnership with DaDa, Matt will create a new digital artwork about myalgic encephalomyelitis (M.E.) and chronic fatigue.
