Master of Landscape Architecture program - Digital Design Lecture (Research and Practice)

Matthew Seibert [1], Assistant Professor at University of Virginia

"Eidetic Data: Spatial Intelligence as Sensory, Experiential, and Contingent"

Matthew Seibert is an Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture at the University of Virginia’s School of Architecture. Matthew’s research and teaching challenges dominant modes of knowledge production, employing alternative methodologies and immersive representational tools to cultivate a pluriversal understanding of being in the world.  His work examines ‘world-building powers’ to the eidetic tools of dynamic visualization, particularly that of real-time engine software and its many products (fully navigable virtual environments, AR/VR, etc). Matthew’s work has been recognized by organizations from the American Society of Landscape Architects to the US Environmental Protection Agency, exhibited across the country from New York to San Francisco, and published internationally. Most recently, his research with collaborators has been published by Routledge Press in Atlas of Material Worlds: Mapping the Agency of Matter, a highly designed narrative atlas investigating the agency of non-living materials.

Matthew Seibert's lecture is supported by SSHRC.
