Matt Warren is an Australian electronic media artist, musician, radio show producer, curator and writer, based in nipaluna/Hobart, lutruwita/Tasmania. His art practice encompasses immersive electronic installation, single channel video and sound works. The work investigates memory, transcendence, liminal spaces and suspension of disbelief. Warren considers his art and installation practice as part of a greater context aligned to psychedelia, digital abstraction and hauntology.

His music and sound practice has a basis in both composition and improvisation. He performs and records electro-acoustic and drone works, solo under his own name and collaborates with others under a number of monikers.

Matt has exhibited, produced sound works and had screenings in Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, USA and throughout Australia. He has held residencies with Jean-Yves Thériault in Montreal, Canada, with Damo Suzuki in Köln, Germany, at The Unconformity, Queenstown, lutruwita/Tasmania, Burnie High School, lutruwita/Tasmania  and multiple residencies at CESTA (Tábor, Czech Republic).

Since 2014 he has designed sound and video as part of the Unconscious Collective for events in festivals such as MONA FOMA, Dark MOFO, The Unconformity and M*Sync and public art projects at University of Tasmania’s Menzies Centre and the Dunalley Primary School.
He currently teaches Sculpture & Time Based Media, Critical Practices, Creative Lab and Media Units at the University Of Tasmania.
