Matthew A. Taylor
Director, Editor, Writer
Matthew Taylor is an American artist and technologist who works in film, sculpture, photography, written mediums and performance. Taylor has spent his life struggling with the term "artist" as his interests span a number of industries including data analysis, documentary filmmaking, and city planning, among others. While most would consider Matthew a filmmaker based on the primary medium he chooses to manifest his ideas, he considers himself a sculptor based on the broad definition he prefers.
Moving from his classical training in painting, drawing, art history and theory, Taylor moved into filmmaking in the late 90's while still in art school. Starting with short concept films, digital installations, music videos and fashion films, Taylor eventually started making documentaries. Coming full circle, Matthew directed "Marcel Duchamp: The Art of The Possible", a feature length documentary on the life and work of Marcel Duchamp, exploring the critical underpinnings of art in the 20th and 21st centuries. After nearly 150 short films, fashion works, ballet and dance pieces, Taylor has recently returned to his fine arts background with a series of new sculpture works due in the near future.
