Matthew Cosslett (he/they, b. 1995), is a Scottish multidisciplinary artist based in Glasgow. Working primarily with moving image, Iinterrogate physical and digital topographies with expanded camera produced content-— digital archives, generated imagery, and shot footage with re-contextualised music and found sound. Working to embody cameras, emboldening camera shakes and body-limited perspectives, my work seeks to forefront and deconstruct the recorded material that makes up digital space. Touching on conspiracy, hope, and techno-utopian ideologies, much of my work aims to demonstrate the deep longing embedded in our engagement with technology, and the narratives used to sell it to us. Working with a hyper-local methodology, my practice uses the thick ideological web that forms the Scottish environment, as clear analogue to digital topographies. In navigating landscapes, both digital and actual, that are obscured by forces of extraction, capital, and industry, my work tensions and repurposes latent histories, questioning the camera's role in extraction and in imposition.
