Artist bio

Matthew Prebeg is an artist, designer, researcher, and storyteller. 

He’s interested in the evolving relationship between technology, nature, and people. His practice considers how digital and cultural systems shape human interaction, memory, and sense of place.

His projects ask how knowledge is stored, accessed, and remembered. He explores what it means to build and sustain commons—digital, cultural, and environmental—and how these collective spaces function as acts of resistance and care.

His work often unfolds through research-based and ephemeral processes. He is interested in rural and natural settings as counterpoints to dominant narratives of urban life—spaces where slowness, materiality, and communal rituals can reframe how we understand contemporary networks and systems. 

He has a background in knowledge translation and community engagement, with a strong focus on human-centered approaches. He has exhibited work and led projects in gallery, academic, and digital contexts, and continues to explore how artists can act as conduits between communities and systems—technological, environmental, and social.
