Mark Walhimer (1964) is a new media, generative, and systems-based artist working in digital installation art. Through Machine DNA — one seed, many bodies — he builds live, generative environments. Artwork series include Surrender Machines, Centered, Witness Mirror, and Artificial Flowers.

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 acceptance, control, and agency — 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 Judy Pfaff in 1985 and Donald Lipski in 1987. Earlier institutional work — including Museum Planning LLC, the Museum of Arts & Sciences in Macon, Georgia, design consulting for the Smithsonian Institution, and project direction for the Children's Museum of Indianapolis — spans three continents and informs a practice concerned with spaces that respond to the people who inhabit them.

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.
