I work in the vicinity of digital media, specialising in computational graphic design. I write code to make engaging works from websites to art installations. Beyond client work, I research and develop open source tools for pedagogical and artistic practice. I am also committed to teaching as a means for exchange and the passing on of knowledge in an area of design I believe to be of importance. I strive for craftmanship and pursue life with humble yet ambitious zeal.

If you are interested in learning more about my work or would be interested in reaching out for a future collaboration, please email me at mark.webster[at]wanadoo.fr. You can equally follow me on Twitter where I sporadically post little visual experiments and information on projects in the making.

The information that follows is a selection of lectures, workshops, events and writings. You will find links to various webpages that may shed more light on these various projects. If you would like to learn more about my creative process, please click on the Process menu.

Workshops have always been an important part of my teachings and often I get to work on installations too. Workshops are always oriented towards fixed objectives in which I try to get participants engaged in a particular technique or theme, all the while directing them towards personal expression and some final piece of work.

I've had the great opportunity to talk extensively about the role of generative and computational approaches in graphic design and art at large. Most of my talks refer to a variety of contemporary artists and designers as well as occasionaly digging into the past history of algorithmic art. It has equally been a great pleasure to organise events around creative coding and invite many talented speakers to share their precious knowledge.

Some of my works have made the press and I have also dabbled in a few writings for notable magazines. Writing is a means for articulating the finer parts of what observation often leaves bare and visceral. It helps shape and sharpen one's intellect.
