Mat RappaportMat Rappaport is an artist and filmmaker known for works that utilize mobile video, performance, and photography to explore habitation, mass-tourism, perception, and power as related to built environments. Recent projects include the Range Mobile Lab(RML) performances employing a 1995 GMC step van, augmented with external cameras that capture video from the surrounding environment and then projects the video onto the windows as the RML navigates the city.

The RML continues Mat Rappaport's effort to shape the experience of urban environments through media-based interventions. In 2021 Rappaport completed his first feature documentary, touristic intents, which asks, "can a building be guilty?" by exploring the redevelopment of the Nazi resort in Prora, Germany.
