Mark J. Stock is an artist, scientist, and programmer who creates still and moving images and objects combining elements of nature, physics, chaos, computation, and algorithm. His work explores the tension between the natural world and its simulated counterpart, between organic and inorganic, digital and analog, and structure and fluid. Mark eschews the 'black box' nature of commercial software---his work is exclusively created with scientifically-accurate research software, mostly of his own design.

He has been showing work since 2000 and has been in over 100 curated and juried exhibitions since 2001, including Ars Electronica, ASPECT Magazine, Illuminus, Red Dot Design Museum, and seven SIGGRAPH Art Galleries. He has spoken at numerous scientific, graphics, and art conferences and workshops, and has published papers in a variety of fields. Mark earned a PhD in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan, currently works on the largest supercomputers in the world and creates artwork in a Boston, Massachusetts live-work cooperative.
