About me

Hello I'm Matt, senior digital and media conservator working at ZKM - Zentrum für Kunst und Medien Karlsruhe. I graduated from the Ecole Supérieure d'Art d'Avignon in Visual Arts. I also hold a diploma in programming/network and in music (cello).
I learned by myself 2D/3D software while I was in high school and I've been always fascinated about information technology and digital archaeology.
My current specialization is the preservation and restoration of 3-D computer-generated cinema models, especially Star Trek ships. One of my work was the remastering/retexturing of the USS Titan for the cover of David Mack's book "Star Trek: Titan - Fortune of War".
My research and work focuses on the preservation of digital art, notably on third-party products as part of artworks (maintenance/adaptation of historical and obsolete commercial software/API for the sake of art preservation), and the archiving of artworks using 3-D visualization.
