Mathew Kneebone Information

Mathew Kneebone is an artist based in Yelamu/San Francisco whose practice examines technological systems at moments of uncertainty, failure, and breakdown. Working across drawing, electronics, text, sound, and performance, he reconfigures everyday infrastructures—such as electrical networks, communication systems, and broadcast media—to reveal how technical operations intersect with cultural belief, myth, and collective memory. His projects often translate abstract or invisible processes into perceptible forms, using malfunction, latency, and interruption as compositional tools. He is currently a thesis writing advisor at California College of the Arts.

He has given talks and workshops at Minnesota Street Project (San Francisco), V2_ Lab for Unstable Media (Rotterdam), Central Saint Martins (London), Sandberg Instituut (Amsterdam), San Serriffe (Amsterdam), EKA Gallery (Tallinn), Sitterwerk (St. Gallen), UEL (London), among others.
