Matt McCorkle is an Emmy-nominated artist and systems thinker working at the intersection of sound, immersive technology, ecology, and human experience. His current practice focuses on building large-scale XR and AI-driven storyworlds.

Projects like Origin merge spatial audio, interactive narrative, fungi-inspired worldbuilding, and game engines to explore memory, identity, and the natural world. Rooted in a 17-year career as a sound designer, McCorkle’s practice evolved from augmented audio, forensic audio isolation, and spatial processing into hybrid installations that combine field recording, foley, AI systems, and dynamic game technologies. His work seeks to expand how people perceive the world and themselves through immersive environments that blur the boundaries between science, art, and technology. 

His installations and collaborations have been experienced at the American Museum of Natural History, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Serpentine Galleries, Halle am Berghain Berlin, Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Frost Museum of Science, Center of Science and Industry, Mystetskyi Arsenal Museum, Google Zeitgeist, LUMA Foundation, and internationally at festivals including Sundance, Tribeca, SXSW, CPH:DOX, and Sheffield DocFest.
