Ben Tritt is an artist, entrepreneur, and innovator at the intersection of art and technology. As the founder of Artmatr (now Matr Labs), Tritt has pioneered the development of advanced robotic painting systems that aim to augment and expand artistic capabilities. Tritt's journey began as a classically trained painter, establishing a studio art school in the 1990s. His interest in technology led him to MIT as a visiting professor, where he connected with students working on early robotic painting tools, inspiring the development of his company.

Under Tritt's leadership, Matr Labs has developed sophisticated painting robots and software that allow artists to realize digital works in physical form with unprecedented control and creativity. The company's technology has been used by renowned artists like Barnaby Furnas and Tyler Hobbs.

Tritt envisions Artmatr's tools as "bicycles for human creativity," enabling artists to focus on imagination rather than technical execution. He emphasizes capturing the artist's hand in automated processes, aiming to democratize art creation while preserving the essence of artistic expression.
