Matthew Gingold is a media artist with an extensive background in audio-visual installation, production and performance. While his art practice is diverse, combining interests in fine art exhibition and installation, live audio-visual performance, film, documentary, theatrical and dance productions, he maintains a commitment to seamlessly blending the beautiful with the technical. Matthew is both an artist and a computer programmer – and indeed combines these two areas of endeavour wherever possible.

Recent projects have included live visuals for Cabaret at the End of the World (Fusion Festival, Germany 2006), Soul Wax (Big Day Out 2006) and Velure (CD Launch, 2005), video production, custom networked video software design, and dual computer live performance for a French-Canadian dance production by P:Media Arts, called Ray of Glass Needles (Nextwave|Dancehouse 2006), award winning sound production for a short film called Ink (Adele Wilkes, 2006) and curating and exhibiting work for a group show exploring notions of conceptual and commercial art (in particular the juxtoposition of the two) called "...that pretty litle thing you can't ignore" (Seventh Gallery, 2006).

Currently Matthew is exhibiting an interactive sound installation called Ghosts of the Uncivil Head (Bus Gallery, August 2006) – a schizophrenic aural collage, exploring the role of language, tone and voice in our everyday experience of "thinking", “madness”, and constructing meaning.

In addition to his own artistic practice, Matthew works professionally in the arts as an exhibitions installer and project manager for a range of clients, including the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Experimenta Media Arts and the State Library of Victoria. He is also the Director of Seventh Gallery, a small artist run initiative in Melbourne, has a Bachelar of Media Arts (with Distinction) from RMIT and works as a programmer for the CSIRO and Pivod Technologies.
