Matthew Schreiber is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Matthew Schreiber rather than just read about it. In short: Matthew Schreiber (born 1967, Cleveland, Ohio) is an American artist who is known for his work in holography and for his large scale laser light sculptures. Matthew Schreiber produces work in a wide variety of mediums, including drawing, performance, sculpture, video, and light.

Key takeaways

Matthew Schreiber belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Matthew Schreiber to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Matthew Schreiber from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Matthew Schreiber (born 1967, Cleveland, Ohio) is an American artist who is known for his work in holography and for his large scale laser light sculptures. Matthew Schreiber produces work in a wide variety of mediums, including drawing, performance, sculpture, video, and light. Recurring subjects within Schreiber's work center on novelty, the occult, and spectacle by using tools of physics, technology and perception. He has exhibited his work internationally, and most recently at large music festivals, an example of which can be found in his 2018 installation at Dark MOFO in Tasmania, in which Schreiber created a massive laser-light installation that completely immersed viewers. Schreiber attempted constructing his own laser at age 7, inspired by science fiction, fantasy and novelty shops. Schreiber received his MFA in Art and Technology and experimental film from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a specialization in holography from the Royal College of Art in 1994. Upon completing his MFA in 1994, Matthew Schreiber relocated to Miami to develop C-Project, a holographic production studio, as the Art Director. C-Project produced fine art holograms with internationally recognized artists such as Louise Bourgeois. It was through his work with C-Project that Schreiber began to work with James Turrell, who he continued to work with for many years. In 2008 Schreiber relocated to Brooklyn, NY building a new studio and holography laboratory. He created a refined archive of C-Project which was permanently acquired by the Getty Museum and GRI in 2019. Schreiber worked as James Turrell's chief lighting expert, culminating in Turrell's retrospective exhibition in 2013. Schreiber went on to produce several solo shows featuring his holograms, laser installations, and drawings, such as his 2008, Guilloche, at Fireplace Projects in East Hampton, NY, 2014, Side Show, at Johannes Vogt Gallery in New York, NY, and 2017 solo show at Cornell's Johnson Museum of Art, curated by Andrea Inselmann. Schreiber's first exhibition focused primarily on holography, Incense and Holograms, was in 2019 at Johannes Vogt Gallery.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Matthew Schreiber

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Matthew Schreiber claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Matthew Schreiber before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Matthew Schreiber ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Matthew Schreiber

In research: Matthew Schreiber appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Matthew Schreiber in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Matthew Schreiber is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1967 births, American male artists, Holography, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Matthew Schreiber outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
