Matthew Tiessen is an Assistant Professor in the School of Professional Communication (ProCom) in the Faculty of Communication and Design (FCAD) at Ryerson University (Toronto). He is also a Research Associate at Ryersons's Infoscape Research Lab: Centre for the Study of Social Media (founded and directed by Dr. Greg Elmer) and a Faculty Associate with Ryerson and York University's Graduate Program in Communication and Culture.
Matthew received a SSHRC Insight Development Grant in the area of "Digital Economy" (2013-16) in support of his research and publishing in the area of visual communication and digital culture. His SSHRC-funded research focuses on the ways mobile screen-based technologies are increasingly being used by governments, corporations, and professional organizations to develop algorithmically driven "gamification" and "ubiquitous computing" logics and platforms designed to add digitally enhanced "achievement layers" to everyday activities. Matthew's interdisciplinary research and publishing also focuses on visual communication and design, affect and aesthetic theory, and critical information studies.
As a visual artist and designer with an Honours BFA in Fine Arts (studio) Matthew has created oil paintings, illustrations, caricatures, logo designs, and websites for clients, private collections, and a range of community and scholarly initiatives. His artwork has been featured in group exhibitions, most notably at the University of Waterloo Art Gallery and the Art Gallery of Alberta.
In 2013, Matthew completed a SSHRC Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at Ryerson's Infoscape Research Lab: Centre for the Study of Social Media. Prior to his SSHRC postdoc Matthew's doctoral research on art, affect, ethics, and creativity was funded by a Killam Memorial Scholarship and a SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship.
