My name is Matthew Prebeg, and I am a multidisciplinary artist, designer, researcher, and technologist

There’s this old saying, “A rolling stone gathers no moss.” (1) This can mean something positive or negative, depending on who you ask. See, my dilemma is that I like gathering moss, but I also like rolling. I have moved around a lot, currently residing in Toronto, ON. My practice dynamically weaves disciplines and constantly changes, depending on my current interests or the direction the wind is blowing. I am a lifelong learner. You can think of me as a rolling stone in a moss garden.

Currently, my art practice explores digital culture, techno-ecology, and ephemera. My professional practice is centred on designing services and translating knowledge in health research. These, too, are bound to change. I am open to chatting and collaborating—you can contact me at hi@mattprebeg.com.

My CV is available here.

Say hi on Instagram, Are.na, TikTok, LinkedIn, or Chess.com.



A volvelle, or wheel chart, is a type of slide chart considered an early example of an analog computer. They exist for a variety of subjects, from astronomy and medicine to bird calls and fortune-telling.

When I was first introduced to Are.na, Good Sign Offs was one of the first boards I contributed to. I was enamoured by this collaborative and algorithm-free platform for collecting and organizing hyper-niche ideas. It felt like all my years of tracking mundane (and perhaps useless) information in spreadsheets and notes apps have prepared me for this moment.
