Themes of technology, connection, and compulsion characterize Matthew White's work. Exploring intersections of contemporary and new media art, White's multidisciplinary practice is informed by professional and educational paths in web, communications, and information technologies. White was first featured as an emerging artist in publications such as Art Takes Miami and Fresh Paint Magazine. Always looking to stage projects differently, his 2011 Moon Phase event at King Plow Arts Center in Atlanta combined photography, mixed media works, crowd-responsive sound installation, and live rock performance. The 2015 #StopInfluenceNow Atlanta Branch Office installation was housed in Atlanta's Ponce City Market in a similarly unorthodox manner. This mock office installation included a variety of works and performance. In the waning days of the pandemic, White began staging shows in his Atlanta area studio's walk-in vault, safe : space, including For The Ear / Eye and Rearranging Borders. His additional contributions to the arts ecosystem include co-hosting the Brain Fuzz podcast with painter Joe Camoosa, where they explore the creative life, art, music, and more with various art world guests. White is a Hambidge Fellow, and his work is in both corporate and private collections in the United States and Europe.
