About Matthew Mazzotta
Matthew Mazzotta is an artist and activist focusing on the power of the built environment to shape relationships and experiences.
Mazzotta works with local residents to invent spaces — from active systems that convert dog waste into energy to light city parks to physically transformable buildings that turn main streets into movie theaters to traveling dining experiences that bring together chefs and climate scientists to serve meals made of local plants endangered by climate change. He was named a TED Fellow in 2020.
He received his BFA degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Masters of Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Program in Art, Culture and Technology.
