ArtScience Interlude: Matthew Chan

Shot on a handheld Mini DV camera, Still or Sparkling (2023) explores the way light dances with water, harnessing the expressive, imperfect qualities of early digital technology to create images akin to Impressionist paintings.

About the Artist

Matthew Chan is a writer, director and editor originally from Singapore and now based in Los Angeles. A graduate of the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts, his work explores the ways the digital has distorted our collective and individual sense of reality.

His experimental film Still or Sparkling premiered at the 2023 edition of the Asian Film Archive’s Singapore Shorts and his narrative short Blue Crush Angels was officially selected to be on the streaming platform NoBudge in 2024. His writing on film has appeared in Artillery Magazine and Talking Shorts.
