Mark Napier

529 W 20th StMark Napier is recognized as one of the first to explore the potential of the Internet as a space for public art. Breaking boundaries of ownership in early web-based works such as the Shredder (1998), Riot (1999), and Feed (2001), Napier questioned fixed designs of web navigation, opened content choices to users and dissolved information into abstract expression. In net.flag, commissioned for the Guggenheim Museum permanent collection in 2001, Napier created a post-national flag that any visitor could change. Mark Napier’s work has been included in prominent New Media exhibitions including the Whitney Museum of American Art's Data Dynamics exhibition, the 2002 Whitney Biennial, the San Francisco Museum of Art's 010101: Art in the Age of Technology, and the net_condition exhibition at ZKM (Center for Art & Media) in Karlsruhe, Germany. A recipient of grants from Creative Capital, NYFA, and the Greenwall Foundation, Napier has also been commissioned to create artwork for SF MoMA and the Whitney Museum. His work has also been exhibited at the Centre Pompidou, PS 1, the Walker Arts Center, Ars Electronica, The Kitchen, Kunstlerhaus Vienna, Transmediale, Bard College, the Princeton Art Museum, la Villette in Paris, and bitforms gallery, among many others. Napier’s work and website potatoland.org has been cited in numerous fine arts journals. He holds a Bachelors of Fine Art from Syracuse University, and teaches at the ITP program of New York University.
