All artifacts have been errated to actually say that they turn off when they are tapped. You should check the oracle for the most current wording of a card. Cards like winter orb and howling mine specifically say that they will not work when tapped.

Check out:

and go the oracle, and look up the artifact in question. Damping matrix will not turn off.. there are only like 5 or 6 that actually do..
