..the ever so occasional internet hiatus

Hey Internet! I'm Back!

Every so often it happens, the internet takes a backseat to regular old "real life".

So while i was gone I was touring eastern Canada in search of adventure, some whales and lots of nature. It was one of the funnest trips i've ever been on. The excitment of traveling to a new place everyday was movitating and exhausting, but 3 weeks of living in a van are now past and now i've got a pretty good idea of what lays between my home in Ontario and the Atlantic Ocean.

While on the road I tried to post updates on Twitter to keep my memories in chronological order which is nice when all the moment turn into a mixed up slosh of fun times.

In the next while expect some inevitable "ketchup" posts, but also there are some exciting new projects in the works that i am excited to share once they are ready.

Updates are happening over at my phototumblr superimposition.
There is a lot of focus on landscapes going on at the moment which i am really excited about

Lately I've been kicking back watching the world knitting itself into synchromystic sticky web. Well my reality at least.

Guess What!!??

I've got an artist talk going on this Thursday 28 April 2011 at the White House Studio Project Located at #277.5 Augusta Ave. Toronto, Ont. come out and listen to me talk about fantastic and strange interactions where science and art make contemporary culture.


Matt Mincoff is an artist/sculptor from Hamilton Ontario and has studied at OCAD (BFA 2007) and RMIT Melbourne (MFA 2010). His practice is an exploration of what is unknown and how can we communicate what should be unexplainable. With this focus on the unknown he has worked with the concepts of the mind, ghosts, identity, invisibility, spirit, relationships and n-dimensional geometry through various approaches to objects, installation, images, sounds and video.
The workshop will discuss various topics that Mincoff has been recently working on through his art practice with slide presentations of his work and relevant media to support the concepts under the title “seeing beyond looking through”.

some of my posting from
the first twenty hours

some highlights

 

upgraded

I realized today I needed to update my online presence a little, clean up the layout a bit here on the blog and get some content i've been meaning to uploaded posted. Taken care of.
With the ever growing amount of content i am producing and posting i have created a new portal page to more easily navigate my all of my projects both present and past.
click below to check it out




























the plan was to keep the page clean/simple and basic screen captures suited the job nicely. I am planning on updating them from time to time as pages progress or just as i like. also be sure to check out the two new projects: still pending title 2011 and superimposition for new images of artworks.
