Our works have shown in galleries including the
V&A Museum-London, MOMA-New York and Framed-Tokyo
In Spring 2011, Paris digital art museum La Gaite Lyrique staged a major exhibition of 12 new digital artworks, Super-Computer-Romantics
Motivated by the pursuit of the new, research and development is central – leading to self initiated works alongside projects for brands, galleries collectors and consumers
We work with visionary people – from bands to CEOs
who make ambitious, pioneering things. Together
we develop projects that form surprising, shareable ideas never seen before
Matt Pyke – Founder / Creative Director
Matt Pyke (b.1975) is a UK based media artist working in the Peak District
National Park and London. He is the founder of the digital art / design studio,
Universal Everything.
His work explores the tension between abstract and figurative form and the
synesthesia of sound and image, leading to expressive, vibrant digital artworks,
embodied with emergent life and anthropomorphism.
His approach is led by materials, painting and sculpting with new technologies
and formats including 3D printing, touch screens, motion capture and large
format video. The use of sound is intrinsic to the work, stimulating visual
reactions and amplifying emotions.
With a background in botanical and technical illustration, then design and
typography, he often works with collaborators including programmers, musicians
and choreographers. The outcomes range from mobile software art to site specific
video installations.
His work has exhibited at MOMA – New York, V&A Museum – London, Central Academy
of Fine Arts – Beijing, Garage Centre for Contemporary Culture – Moscow,
La Gaite Lyrique – Paris and Art HK – Hong Kong.
