Dr Matthew Riley is a Senior Lecturer in the Master of Animation, Games and Interactivity program at RMIT University. Riley’s creative practice research encompasses experimental and speculative design, art practice and critical forms of play and has been recognised in exhibitions, conferences, symposia and events in Australia, the United Kingdom, Finland Portugal, Hong Kong, United Arab Emirates, New Zealand, France, Japan and Austria. Riley’s research investigation examines contemplative forms of aesthetics and interaction – from slower and ambient modes to more playful engagements – and how they reframe our relationship of place in both urban and non-urban contexts.
Riley collaborates with leading practitioners, cultural and arts organisations, local governments, social enterprises and research centres. With Uyen Nguyen and Max Piantoni he is a co-founder of the experimental collective YomeciPlay, serving as a creative producer in the conceptualisation, development and design of playful artworks, experimental games, interactive environments and public art.
