- About
Boston native Matthew Mosher is an intermedia artist, research professor, and Fulbright Scholar who creates embodied experiential systems. His work explores the intersections of fine art, computer programming, and critical making resulting in immersive installations, interactive sculptures, post-participatory data visualizations, and dynamic performances. His projects have engaged themes of meditation, gun violence, digital isolation, and tangible memory. Mosher creates conduits between digital technology and material forms to highlight our complex relationships with machines and each other. Doing so empowers participants in his work to see the world from a new perspective while reexamining their role in society.
Mosher is currently an Associate Professor of Games and Interactive Media at the University of Central Florida. He received his BFA in Furniture Design from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2006 and his MFA in Intermedia from Arizona State University in 2012. In his more than 15 years working as an intermedia artist Mosher has exhibited at numerous international venues for contemporary art, including the International Symposium for Electronic Art and the Electronic Literature Organization. His research is published in the Computer-Human Interaction, Tangible Embodied Interaction, and New Interfaces for Musical Expression conference proceedings, and reviewed in Wired and Interactions magazines.

Portfolio

Specimen: Pods
Patinated Bronzed Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol / 2022 8 × 5 × 5These forms are algorithmically generated with custom written computer code. The sculptures are then 3D printed, bronzed, and patinated. No two forms are alike, each pod is unique. Their wrinkly shapes reference seed pods, nuts, acorns, and the coming harvest.

A Quest for 1000 Years
Canary, Cherry / 2022 53in X 18in X 18inCoffee Table

Vessels
White Oak, Walnut, Jute / 2022 42 × 15 × 15These woven forms were generated with computer code given an initial base profile shape.

Ax Chair
Powder Coated Steel / 2004 26in X 17in X 20inChair

Standpipe
Patinated Steel / 2014Standpipe creates a geometric volume from ever increasing triangular sides placed on a rectilinear form. It uses the Fibonacci sequence to determine the height of a square rotating 45 degrees with each increment.

The Way Out Is Through

Khong Khro
Mixed Media / 2019 48in X 4in X 27inThis piece uses an EEG headset to provide luminescent biofeedback on a participant’s level of focus. Video Demo: https://mosher.art/portfolio_entry.php?art_id=119

What we have lost / What we have gained
Wood, Steel, Spandex, IR LEDs and Camera, Projector, Max/Jitter / 2014 36in X 48in X 72inThis piece explores how to transform viewers into performers, participants, and players through large upper body movements and tangible interactions with a sculpture.

Reliquary: Vote
Walnut, Maple, Steel / 2022 60 × 18 × 18A ballot box is protected in a cabinet modeled after the Supreme Court.

Specimen: Proteins
Patinated Bronzed Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol / 2022 10 × 8 × 8To create these sculptures, the artist randomly generated 10 points within an 8 inch cube. The points were then connected with a continuous line, which was used as a rail for a square extrusion. The forms were then 3D printed, bronzed, and patinated.

Vajramantrabhiru
Weathering Steel / 2017 34in X 34in X 69inThis steel sculpture uses a series of increasing triangular facets to create a geometric form. Each face catches light in a unique way because it is at a different angle relative to the others. They reach skyward defying gravity.

WO11OC109B0
Lacquered White Oak / 2022 28in X 30in X 108inThis wood sculpture appears as an open vessel. The form was generated with computer code given an initial profile shape. It was constructed using techniques from ultralight boatbuilding, and bears 480 epoxied face joints.
