Mark Webster

Born in Canada, raised in the United Kingdom and currently living in France, Mark Webster is a prominent figure in the field of visual and sonic arts using code to create evocative works of art. Upon graduating with a modern languages degree in 1998, he moved to France where he worked in a variety of fields within the visual and sonic arts, only to find code as a creative medium in 2005 with John Maeda. Recognising the potential in an emerging field for artists and designers, it was precisely then that he began organising events to promote awareness and encourage the creative coding community. Since 2010, he has devoted a good part of his time to teaching code in art schools and particularly to graphic design undergraduates. With custom-made software and computational and generative strategies as his main approach, he has been developing a highly personal body of work since 2020.
