Matt Bruinooge is a visual artist who combines sculpture and photography to reshape the digital mediation of physical space. His practice explores the optical codes that channel and simulate perception. Objects are scanned and printed across dimensions, uncovering hidden topologies, strange artifacts, and tactile textures that emerge from source data. His work has been shown at La MaMa Galleria (New York, NY) and Greene Naftali (New York, NY). He holds an M.F.A. from Brooklyn College and a B.A. in Computer Science and Visual Art from Brown University.

This residency is organized in collaboration with Brooklyn College. Since 2022, Pioneer Works has partnered with Brooklyn College to select one recent graduate from their MFA program, with the aim of supporting an intergenerational cohort of emerging artists who demonstrate artistic excellence in work outside existing models and norms of their fields.
