Mark Walhimer (1964) is a generative artist and museum designer with twenty years of experience creating interactive public spaces for learning, participation, and shared experience.

He is the managing partner of Museum Planning LLC and has served as the Executive Director of the Museum of Arts & Sciences in Macon, Georgia. His work includes design consultant for the Smithsonian Institution and project director for the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. His institutional work spans three continents, with projects in the United States, Latin America, Europe, and Asia.

Walhimer is a Fulbright Specialist and the author of two books published by Bloomsbury Publishing: Museums 101 and Designing Museum Experiences. He has taught at the Georgia Institute of Technology and at Tec de Monterrey in Mexico City.

His generative art practice grows directly from this institutional work — a career spent designing spaces that respond to the people who inhabit them. Working in p5.js, WebGL, and GLSL shaders, he builds browser-based works that run live, generate in real time, and change with every viewing. The work explores emergence, translucency, co-creation, and the conditions under which shared space produces something no single author could make alone.

He began his career in the studio of artists Judy Pfaff in 1985 and Donald Lipski in 1987.
