Matthew Hebert

Matthew Hebert is an artist and educator living in San Diego, CA. He grew up in various parts of the world, but almost entirely in California. His work meanders around the mundane, the weird, and the spooky while maintaining a focus on the lived experiences of our built environments and the histories of art and design. A background in architecture and furniture design and fabrication allows him to work in a range of materials and forms, from small-scale craft objects to room-size immersive installations. It is not uncommon for his work to employ interactive technologies to create immersive and generative content that unrolls over time and through space. He explores how spaces and objects can allow for solitary or social experiences. Lately his work has dealt with the notion of our contemporary times being haunted by the utopian dreams of the past.
